Wednesday from Light/Mittwoch aus Licht had it’s world premier in Birmingham from 22-26th August. The 6-hour opera was the final opera from Karlheinz Stockhausen and, until recently, gone unperformed in its entirety. Did I mention that it includes helicopters?
For one section of the opera, Orchestra Finalists/Orchester-Finalisten, Birmingham Opera Company, together with Ember Television, asked 10 people to make films that responded to each piece of this section in some way. I made one for “Tuba amongst flocks of birds and swarms of bees”
The production of Othello is going really well. We’re four performances in and have already received positive reviews from the Guardian, Telegraph and Times and generally positive reviews from friends and attendees.

Unless you have bought a ticket unfortunately there’s no way to see it as all of the tickets have now sold out, but that only reiterates the popularity of the productions by the Birmingham Opera Company.
