Fault Lines is my most recent opera, to a new libretto by Hazel Gould. The opera was comissioned in 2021 by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra for their Cornwall Residencies. The opera was composed during the covid pandemic and I am thrilled that it will now premiere over three incredible venues in Cornwall in March 2024.

Mining, migration, mythology, memories, music, mischief…

At a wake in a pub, a storyteller fondly remembers Cornish miner, Joe. Soon, a deeper story emerges about friendship, mischief, tragedy and forces more powerful than man.

A haunting yet playful story told through music and song inspired by folklore, home, mining, memories, and mischief. The audience is warmly invited to join in, sing or play along – bring an instrument or just listen and enjoy the story.
