Coraline: the opera

blog, concert/performance, cultural stories

2018 turned out to be the year of the opera for me, as I booked to see four operas, far more than I usually see. Coraline is a brand new opera by Mark-Anthony Turnage, who I learnt is a hot contemporary british opera composer. I don’t often see operas by living composers (Philip Glass being an obvious exception), but I was intrigued.
