More Information
Taka Kigawa joins Talea Ensemble and play Alec Hall's new opera, The Life to Come (2023) in the workshop/performance setting.
"Talea is collaborating with Alec Hall on a new opera, The Life to Come, which is based on a short story by E.M. Forster. Originally written in 1922, the story was not published until after the author’s death in 1970 due to its explicit interracial homosexuality. In collaboration with librettist and poet Vanessa Place, the opera sets Forster’s story as a tale about English colonial violence in South America, queerness, and the birth of love. As we workshop parts of the opera, we hope you will join us for a public showcase to preview what is to come in the 2024/25 season." - Talea Ensemble
