Project40 - catch the falling Angel
The Project40- Ensemble continues to push the boundaries of the possible and presents full opera at St John’s Waterloo, with another enterprising programme juxtaposing the almost familiar with the almost totally unknown. Geoffrey Burgon’s taut and compact chamber opera The Fall of Lucifer sets the Biblical tale for three soloist, chorus and small ensemble, capturing the moral dilemma in music of ethereal beauty. We give London premieres to John Pickard’s sumptuous settings of Verlaine and Roderick Williams’ only (so far) instrumental work and the world premiere of Eamonn O’Dwyer’s Sticks and Stones, tiny snapshots by Peter Maxwell Davies and Harrison Birtwistle, both of whom would have been 90 this year, complete this uninhibitedly enterprising programme.
