Dichotomies of Lockdown.
[Composition]
A short opera for mezzo, tenor and string ensemble.
Commissioned by Irish National Opera for 20 Shots of Opera in 2020.
Recorded and filmed at the Gaiety Theatre Dublin for online video release, Dec 2020.
In seven sad, funny, and absurd vignettes, two people navigate the changes within their world and within themselves in a time of pandemic. As they jump from one situation to another, we see how they adapt to new rituals and new vocabulary.
