• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Genesis

  Opera Room develops, writes and produces original opera. We are always exploring new ways to tell a story. FLAT PACK is an exercise in concision: a tight narrative in one location, using only two instruments and a single voice. In terms of production, we’re excited by the opportunity Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival 2014 has given us to hold the first performance in a unique environment that enables us to communicate the intentions of the piece, as well as stimulating an exciting relationship with the audience.

  Synopsis

  It’s late. Simon’s life is falling apart. Life doesn’t have instructions. Simon’s life sucks. But his new drinks cabinet has instructions! It’s logical. It needs him to make things fit. “Insert screw A into hole G on shelf E, using allen key 2”

  Why can’t life be that easy?

  FLAT PACK is a new tragicomic micro-­‐opera from Opera Room.
