Community Opera - Odyssey

Adapted by Martin Vander Weyer from Simon Armitage’s ‘Homer’s Odyssey’
Directed by Em Whitfield Brooks / music by Tim Brooks / designed by Lyn Wait

This year’s Community Opera is a dramatic re-telling of the epic voyage and homecoming of Odysseus, featuring soloists David Pisaro and Emily Smith and performers of all ages and abilities from across Ryedale, including children from Sinnington Primary School, Rillington Primary School, Norton College and many other schools in the area as well as local choirs.

A chance to experience one of the oldest and greatest works of Western literature newly re-created and composed for this year’s festival by the Community Opera team.
