To celebrate International Women’s Day 2022, the Royal Opera present Lost and Found: a series of brand-new, train-themed, micro-operas created by women composer and librettist teams. On Tuesday 8 March 2022, between 11am and 6pm, St. Pancras International will become a stage for the day, giving commuters the chance to enjoy stories and songs based on submissions from the public.
That day, commuters will experience seven newly commissioned micro-operas – short opera scenes, built on anecdotes submitted to the Royal Opera House by members of the public, exploring themes of time, motion, meetings and farewells. The composer and librettist duos were selected following an open call from the Royal Opera House’s Jette Parker Young Artists Programme (JPYA).
