"Placing an audience right in the centre of human drama...I aim to bring that to opera."

Looking back at his previous theatre work, we heard from Director of Angel's Bone Kip Williams (@kip_williams) in our latest episode of In the Studio on how he has translated his experience in theatre to opera.

Making his opera and English National Opera (@englishnationalopera) debut, Angel's Bone also marks the continuation of his long-term creative collaboration with award-winning Designer, Marg Horwell (@marghorwell) - whose recent successes include The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway and Dracula starring Cynthia Erivo in the West End.

Angel's Bone finishes in Manchester tomorrow (Saturday 16 May) - don't miss it!

An English National Opera (@englishnationalopera) production in collaboration with Factory International and BBC Philharmonic (@bbcphilharmonic), along with performances from Kantos Choir (@kantoschoir), Angel’s Bone tells the haunting story of two fallen angels, drawn back to earth by a longing for its pleasures.

In the Studio is Factory International's series where artists and collectives show us the space where their ideas come to life.
