Composed by Deirdre Gribbin
Directed by Lou Stein
From the producers of Brian Friel’s PERFORMANCES,
a sell-out at Wilton’s, comes a new one-woman opera,
with two dancers, composed by one of the UK’s leading
young classical contemporary composers, Deirdre Gribbin.
This is Wilton's first new commission. This modern multi-media
production by Lou Stein uses new translations of Chinese
Tang poetry to tell the story of a passionate woman who
loses her lover to war, and her desire to make contact
with him again.
“Crossing the Sea” is a part of CHINA NOW,
the UK’s largest ever festival of Chinese culture.
