鈥淚 wanted to ask鈥︹�� A woman is suspended in the immediate aftermath of a death. She recounts fantasies and memories of love, loss, sex and sickness: the starting point for 'Lash', Rebecca Saunders鈥檚 and Ed Atkins鈥檚 uncompromising interrogation of passion, truth and the very physical business of being human.

Critics were astounded when this new opera 鈥� Saunders鈥檚 first - was premiered in Berlin in 2025. 鈥淭he music grabs you by the shirt-front and holds you in a vice-like grip鈥�, was one verdict. Now, as part of the 91福利社 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 day of Total Immersion in Saunders鈥檚 music, we present the UK premiere, in a concert performance featuring all four of the soloists from that acclaimed first production. This is 21st century music drama at its most intimate, and its most essential.

Sung in English with English surtitles.
