Uprising

Uprising is about the revolt of young people for climate action, for change and their plea for a better world. The opera tells the story of a mother and daughter who are diametrically opposed, and shows how social tensions affect personal relationships. It is a deeply human story about listening, clashing and living together.

Directed by Gable Roelofsen and Romy Roelofsen, Uprising becomes a collective experience. A choir of one hundred community singers and six professional soloists together form a mini-society on play. Jonathan Dove's music is grand, lyrical and direct in its emotional eloquence. The powerful harmonies and rich orchestral sounds make Uprising an immersive operatic experience, in the auditorium and on play.

Uprising invites conversation, touches head and heart and lets the power of the voice be heard!
