A teenage boy is stabbed. An older boy is caught on CCTV leaving the scene. An open-and-shut case, it would seem. But, as Detective Inspector Anne Strawson investigates the older boy's story, she uncovers a bizarre nexus of chatroom meetings, mysterious internet identities, supposed spy rings and disturbing cybersex, leading to a stunning conclusion.

Loosely inspired by actual events that occured in an English industrial city, Nico Muhly's new opera is a cautionary tale of the dark side of the internet.

With a libretto by Craig Lucas, screenwriter of Prelude to a Kiss and Reckless and video design by Fifty Nine Productions, whose work has been a key feature of such recent ENO triumphs as Doctor Atomic and Satyagraha, this new co-production with the Metropolitan Opera, New York, is directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher, making his UK opera debut.

  • Amazing! I'm a fan right now!

  • I dont understand, what's this trailer about?

  • SUSAN BOYLE in a blonde wig?  Neat!

  • I was at the dress rehearsal for this yesterday. It was amazing!! what an exciting work! go see if if you can.

  • I so very wish that I could see this. Not sure if the music from this video is from the opera, but I love it. So haunting for such a haunting matter. Nico Muhly sir, God bless you.

  • Nico Muhly is one of the greatest composers I've ever seen/heard! He's up there with the likes of Adams, Beethvoen, Wagner, Sibelius, Andriessen, Bruckner... you name it.

    What an honor it is for our country to have his opera playing here!

  • I can't wait! Looking forward to this.

  • HEY :D
