 are proud to have presented

 

 

PERELANDRA the Opera

 

 

 

Music : Donald Swann

Libretto : David Marsh

Based on the book by C.S. Lewis

 

 

The opera was written in collaboration with C.S. Lewis between 1960 and 1964. The sale of the film rights shortly after Lewis' death, however, placed a long-term embargo on its performance.

The opera has now received a long-awaited second premiere, in concert, in its original, three-act version.

 

Performances:

25 June 2009, 7pm, Keble College Chapel, Oxford

26 June 2009, 7pm, Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford

 

The performance run was accompanied by a two-day international colloquium on C.S. Lewis' PERELANDRA. Please click here for more information.
