Performer: Dan Ayling

Emily Howard's new opera, an Aldeburgh Festival commission, takes an ambitiously modernist approach to a dystopian story of loneliness: a tough, but thought-provoking work. 

Innovative and clever, inspired by a mixture of personal memories, philosophical readings and tragic myth, Remember Me feels more like performance art than opera, moving slowly towards a sudden, secret ending.

Clou du festival Présences qui lui est consacré, George Benjamin dirige un Written on skin bouleversant à la Philharmonie, qui rappelle avant tout la richesse de l'écriture orchestrale du compositeur.
