Laughing Out Lonely
Preview · Tue 18 Aug14+
Laughing Out Lonely (LOL) is a portrait of contemporary loneliness. With a universal relevance, and a tour de tour performance from acclaimed countertenor Morten Grove Frandsen, this thrilling new opera is a thought-provoking performance that pushes the boundaries of what opera can be. Created using English lyrics that are based on posts from young people on social media, and staged by Louise Beck as a theatrical echo chamber where the audience is part of the setting, Laughing Out Lonely is a compelling work that is relevant for audiences of all ages.
