ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
As the Crows Fly is a one-act opera that explores death and decomposition from the perspective of nature’s most ominous bird; the crow. Combining the literary worlds of Shakespeare and Ted Hughes with the sounds of Stravinsky, Weill and Britten, …Crows… follows three birds as they circle a fresh battlefield deciding who to eat. Through a darkly humorous lens, the piece examines the ugly but necessary roles that scavenger animals play in the decomposition process.
