Anaïs Nin’s incredible life is the subject of Louis Andriessen’s dynamic video opera, staged by Ensemble BPM at the Riverside Studios last weekend. Over two nights, BPM played to captive audiences at the world’s largest festival for new opera, Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival.
Following BPM’s critically acclaimed production of Steve Reich and Beryl Korot’s Three Tales in 2010, BPM will become the first group to perform Louis Andriessen’s video opera since the London Sinfonietta’s UK premiere back in 2011.
