About This Event

The UK premiere of Joby Talbot鈥檚 and Gene Scheer鈥檚 opera Everest: a spectacular drama of life, death and the human spirit on the roof of the world.

May 1996, and as their plans disintegrate and a blizzard closes in, four climbers confront the summit of Mount Everest 鈥� and a life-or-death choice. Based on a true story, Talbot鈥檚 opera has a contemporary setting, but an eternal theme: the limits of human courage, and the unbreakable power of nature.

In this semi-staged version, atmospheric visual projections take you into the freezing heart of a raging storm as the 鈥榤usically stunning and cinematically thrilling鈥� (Dallas Observer) story unfolds. 鈥楪ripping, edge of your seat story-telling鈥� wrote one US critic after its premiere in 2015. 鈥業f you want to see where opera is headed in the 21st-century, don't miss this production.鈥�

Veronika Haller is unable to perform due to illness. We are grateful to Si芒n Griffiths for agreeing to take on the role of Jan Arnold at very short notice.
