“Through four sold-out shows from 27th-30th April 2026, we took over a Digbeth nightclub and brought audiences from across the UK straight into Birmingham's opera scene. RE-WIRE was the world premiere of six brand new mini-operas by a team of 24 emerging artists, curated by international opera director Melly Still. Encouraging us to ditch the digital and build human connection, seven up-and-coming composers and librettists (commissioned through the Brum Commissions programme) told us six stories of Birmingham across three stages.” - Birmingham Opera Company

I directed:

Mothers (Aidan Teplitzky)
Tenor Joseph Doody + chorus; a kind of gig/requiem for the old Birmingham rock venue where The Who etc. got started.

The Quiet Rebellion Continues (Romarna Campbell)
Mezzo Lea Katherine Shaw + dancers; built from verbatim interviews about Birmingham, migration, identity, and belonging.
