Tomorrow Milica will be getting married. The night before the ceremony, she sings and plays with her girlfriends. They dance, they argue, they make fun of the boys, go swimming and eventually say farewell. Throughout this hen night, they burst into songs, which possess the husky spontaneity and the rough charm of folklore verse but are transfigured by the imaginative writing of the Serbian composer living in Canada, Ana Sokolović. Svadba – which means marriage – is a musical and theatrical feast, both poignant and playful. After a huge success in the United States, this chamber opera for six a capella women’s voice will be given at the Festival d’Aix as a new production which will also be the European premiere of the scenic version. Long live the bride!

Manchester International Festival presents the world première of The Immortal, a new work for orchestra and chorus by one of Britain’s brightest young composers, Mark Simpson.

Inspired by John Gray’s book The Immortalization Commission, Simpson’s work explores the obsession with death that lies at the heart of the human experience.

Drawing on the so-called ‘Cross Correspondences’, the extraordinary scripts of a series of séances undertaken in the first decades of the 20th century, this oratorio portrays the crisis of faith experienced by Frederick Myers, president of the Society of Psychical Research. Myers’ attempt to prove the existence of an afterlife was made more poignant by his own desperate hope of reuniting with the love of his life, whose untimely death haunted both his life and his work.

Mark Simpson has worked with librettist Melanie Challenger to create The Immortal, which will be performed by the BBC Philharmonic, EXAUDI and Manchester Chamber Choir with solo baritone Mark Stone. The Immortal will be complemented by a performance of Mozart’s Requiem, the composer’s poignant and prescient anticipation of his own death.
