Saturday, July 7, 2012 at 8pm (See website for more performances) Written on Skin Festival d'Aix en Provence
United Kingdom http://www.festival-aix.com/en
Tickets: 240, 190, 110, 55 and 30 € Festival d’Aix-en-Provence new production
In coproduction with the Nederlandse Opera Amsterdam, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden London, the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
A rich lord welcomes into his house the artist he has commissioned to complete a book of illuminations. This work, he hopes, will immortalise the ruthless practice of his political power and the calm contentment brought to him by domestic order, embodied in the humility and childish obedience of his wife Agnes.
However the creation of the book becomes a catalyst for his wife’s rebellion. After a first successful attempt at seduction, Agnes uses her new intimacy with the illuminator to change the very content of the book and so forces her husband to see her as she really is. This opens the path for an extraordinary and final act of provocation.
Written on Skin, based on an Occitan legend from the 12th century and performed under the cold gaze of 21st-century angels, explores the explosive consequences of self-discovery and the limitations of the power that one human being can exert on another.
Commissioned by the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and other co-producing opera houses, this world premiere was created by two of the most prominent artists of our time.

Saturday, July 7, 2012 at 16.30 Babur in London Cheltenham Festival
United Kingdom
Tickets: £25 The Opera Group
Life is short; work is long.
Work is building an empire and a dynasty,
A place your people can call their own,
Making something that will live after you.
In a London suburb, four young men and women are preparing a terrorist act. As their mission draws closer, they are disturbed by the ghost of Babur. first Mughal Emperor - poet and warrior. Challenging their convictions, he calls them “children playing at battle, in love with death”, but what are his motives for interfering?
Babur in London tells a haunting story of four young people in today’s society grappling with their beliefs, the consequences of their actions, and their feelings for each other. The piece combines the contemporary poetry of Jeet Thayil with original music by Edward Rushton and will be directed by John Fulljames.
Suggested age suitability 14 +
