The Snow Child
Chamber Opera by Owain Park
Libretto adapted from Angela Carter by the composer

The Count and the Countess go riding through a field of snow, where they find a young girl - the perfect girl, the girl of the Count's dreams and desires. As the three ride on together and their story turns to tragedy, three narrators watch and wait.

This performance comes live from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016, the final curtain in a five-night run.

“Written for six voices and chamber orchestra, the haunting and evocative score, combined with director Gareth Mattey’s sparse staging, draws the audience in to a bleak musical landscape.” – The Herald

“The cold sound world is infused with a fantastical sensibility, aided by the extensive use of tuned percussion.” – The Cambridge Student

“Through the poetic chamber score, the opera subtly combines with splendid solo passages from its singers, which hint on the macabre and ghastly nature of the short tale.” – TrendFem
