six brand-new mini operas created by RCM composers and performed by RCM singers working in association with pathfinding opera company Tête à Tête.

The journey to self-acceptance is one of the great storylines in opera and literature. RCM composers lead us on an odyssey through six vivid operatic worlds, with each unexpected protagonist embarking on the journey of their lifetime – from the metamorphosis of a butterfly to a zombie on a quest to regain his humanity.
