Programme Note

Commissioned by the Mornington Trust

Chamber Opera for four singers and small chamber ensemble

Set in Corsica in the late nineteenth century, the opera explores the ambiguity surrounding the mazzere – women gifted with the prescience of death. If they foresee death, do they also cause it? The men may hunt by day, but the women hunt in their dreams.
