2016 - 2017 Performance Collaborations with Garsington Opera

This ambitious choral project was performed at the V&A Oct 14th 2017 as part of the exhibition Opera: Passion, Power, Politics. Composed by Orlando Gough to a libretto from Rosetta Life for The London Stroke Choir, The Shout at Cancer Choir and Garsington Opera Community Chorus, the opera gives voice to stroke survivors and those without a larynx, digitally integrating short films from hospital wards with live choirs.

Inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Eugen Onegin Rosetta Life presents a remarkable musical collaboration with Garsington Opera Learning and Participation Team, The National Centre for Spinal Injuries Stoke Mandeville, and The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London.
