Music Theatre Wales (in collaboration with Scottish Opera) presents a double bill. 'In the Locked Room' is by composer Huw Watkins and librettist David Harsent. A one-act opera, it is an adaptation of a short story by Thomas Hardy, exploring the power of the imagination and the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
'Ghost Patrol' is by Stuart Macrae, with libreto by novelist Louise Welsh. Three people trying to escape their past meet in a bar, where they uncover a terrible secret that unleashes an inevitable tragedy.
The productions are directed by Michael McCarthy and Matthew Richardson. The conductor is Michael Rafferty. (Note: at 6.45pm there is a pre-performance talk by Michael McCarthy.)
