Ravel: L’enfant et les Sortilèges

Overview

Coming to life as a digital creation, VOPERA’s production, directed by Rachael Hewer, is a world-first; global Zoom auditions and rehearsals, socially distanced orchestral studio recording, individually captured audio recordings, hand-drawn set and costumes, and body-double acting using a homemade green-screen studio overlaid with the recorded cast’s singing faces. Lee Reynolds conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a specially reduced arrangement of Ravel’s score, alongside a cast of over 80 singers all recorded in isolation from home.
