All Rest (5pm)

All Rest is an original, immersive opera experience portraying a fictional dreamscape about the people dwelling in St Mary’s historic graveyard on Overton Drive. Six characters and a chorus of ghosts will lead the audience on a journey through the grounds, offering a glimpse of past and future stories. All Rest was premiered earlier this year for the St Mary’s Music Festival and the Fringe is delighted to offer a second chance to experience it.  With music by local composer Simone Spagnolo and text by Serena Braida, All Rest features voices, a choir, portable instruments and St Mary’s historic organ.

“The composition, staging and performance [are] of a standard rarely seen in these parts”

Please note there are two hour-long performances – one at 5pm and one at 6.30pm. Because the opera involves walking around the graveyard it is not suitable for wheels. In case of rain or adverse weather conditions the opera will be performed indoor in a reduced version.
