Details

Based on the international bestseller by Daniel Mason. Set at the turn of the century, as the Empire crumbles and war and intrigue abound, The Piano Tuner makes his life-changing journey from the grey, smog-ridden streets of London, over seas and through unknown and exotic lands to the jungles of Burma, where a piano waits to be tuned, where peace hangs in the balance, where suspicion lurks to trap the innocent... Co-commission with Royal Opera House. For the first time MTW will work with musicians from contrasting cultures: the operatic voice of the West and the haunting song of South East Asia, in an evocative new opera which embraces the spiritual and musical worlds of both cultures.
