Under Milk Wood: An Opera

In 1954 Dylan Thomas caused a literary storm with his play for voices, Under Milk Wood. Sixty years on, Wales' leading opera composer, John Metcalf creates a groundbreaking new opera and recreates Thomas' world of Llareggub - the town that went mad.

Under Milk Wood: an Opera weaves together extraordinary poetic and comic language, contemporary and ancient instrumental music, recorded and live sound, as this 13-strong company of singers and multiinstrumentalists creates a feast for the ears.

Come join blind, old Captain Cat and his fellow villagers cradling their hopes and dreams in Llareggub.

Based on the original play for voices by Dylan Thomas
