Kirsten Morrison, Oliver Gibbs, Peter Shipman, Belinda Williams, Rob Amon, Pete O' Shea, Chris Brierley

A fascinating new opera set around the angel conversations of alchemist John Dee (1527-1608); astronomer, astrologer, geographer, occultist and consultant to Elizabeth I. Original texts, poetry, incantations and diary entries provide an authentic glimpse into a time just before modern science when angels held the keys to the world.
