Experience the world premiere of an occult mystery film-opera from composer, director and film-maker Michel van der Aa.
What connects the disappearance of a software engineer with a neurotic film-maker and a gullible patroness of the arts? Combining live performance, music, 2D and 3D film, Sunken Garden tells the story of a missing person and those who are searching for him.
English National Opera comes to the Barbican for this brand new collaboration with libretto by best-selling author David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas), and score by Dutch composer Michel van der Aa, whose prize-winning music theatre piece After Life premiered here in 2010.
'His ability to fuse music, text and visual images into a totally organic whole sets him apart from nearly all his contemporaries' Guardian on Michel van der Aa
