Watch the opera from the start here;


Romping, rollicking hunters are searching for their pray. When they come into trouble a Wild Woman of the woods appears.

Aurora is based on an Italian folk story set in the Dolomite mountains. The Princess of Doleda suffers from the terrible illness of the night, which also took her mother. Her overbearing but loving father, the King of Doleda, is desperate to help her. When he encounters a charismatic Wise Woman in the woods, the Princess’ journey of self-knowledge, spiritual awakening, sacrifice and love is set in motion. This powerful story deeply resonates with our modern times.


Opera premiered at Bury Court and revived at The Arcola, London.


Filmed by Heathcliff Blair.
