Sing4 Nok6, and other broken things
Music: Ng Kwun Ho / Jerry Fryderyk
Libretto: Courtney Cousins
Meet The Philips
Music: Alessandro Mackinnon-Botti
Libretto: Wilkie Robson
Sing4 Nok6, and other broken things and Meet The Philips are a pair of chamber operas created by emerging composers from the Royal Academy of Music.
The evening brings two worlds onto one stage: a vivid, fast-moving programme where different musical languages, cultural perspectives and theatrical styles collide.
In “Sing4 Nok6, and other broken things”, cultural erasure becomes a live struggle between imposed and remembered, where singing itself becomes resistance.
In “Meet The Philips”, an entire marriage unfolds in one domestic space, with the TV as the couple’s third wheel: comic, invasive, intimate, and quietly devastating.
Come to the first show this evening for two more operas for an evening moving between folklore, psychological drama, political urgency, and domestic comedy, The Breaking Point offers opera with pace, contrast, and sharp theatrical images. It asks what happens when the forces around us — nature, language, competition, media, love — stop staying in the background and start to break the sense of what we are.
