The Signal-Man - An Opera
Member Nick Planas has been working on an opera, The Signal-Man, based on the short story but with the addition of characters from the Signal-Man's past (as described in the text). It is being performed by a cast of 6 professional singers supported by an orchestra of professionals mixed in with senior students, in his home town of Brackley on October 25th. Wherever possible he has tried to use Dickens' own words, which has proved quite a challenge musically. The opera lasts about 50 minutes and he is hoping to take it on tour next year.
