Here’s what happened when 270 people of all ages from across London, came together in the heart of Brixton in a celebration of the human voice.
English National Opera’s Other Voices programme was developed in response to director Peter Sellars’s residency and inspired by the themes of the two productions he is directing in our current season – The Gospel According to the Other Mary and The Indian Queen.
The ENO Community Choir, The B.I.G. Choir, Streetwise Opera London Explore group and Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School Year 5&6 Choir worked on repertoire inspired by two productions throughout autumn 2014, and came together to share and exchange their songs.
Joined by young professional singers from ENO Opera Works, the project culminated in a pop up public performance in Windrush Square, as dusk fell on a late November afternoon.
