QueerLove - an LGBTQ+ opera
Words and music: Guy Harries in collaboration with the cast
The non-classical opera QueerLove explores relationships in the LGBTQ+ community through the medium of the love letter. Created with a cast of queer artists creating and performing songs, dance, classical and electronic sound, drag and cabaret, this opera is a dazzling, glittering, life-affirming celebration of deep human connection. The piece was inspired by letters from queer archives and present-day interviews. It is devised by the composer in collaboration with the cast members, bringing different voices and experiences together and queering the operatic hierarchy. Immerse yourself in some queer love!
We are offering a very limited number of free tickets on OutSavvy to enable wider access to people from the community. If you can afford a ticket, please consider booking here:
