The Man and Men

For one hour, five instrumentalists and a coloratura soprano are entangled in a web of physical and sonic dialogue, which is both a glittering spectacle and, in the same breath, an earthy glimpse into the humble life of one who is searching for a deeper understanding, all alone. Composer Joshua Goodman says, 'When the noises of the world dissolve into a moment's silence there comes a music which is clear and realised. In my opera, I tell the story of 'The Man', who is juggling the noises of his world to find that clarity.'
