 In many ways it's the first proper opera, it's certainly the first opera that's the first opera written that remains in the repertoire today. Orfea was written in 1607 and it was the first opera ever written and it started a wave of musical theatre that became quite high-tech for the times. It's a complete masterpiece. I mean there's a very good argument for it still being one of the greatest operas there is in terms of innovation but also in terms of just the sheer beauty of the music and also the invention of the composer. The music is incredibly expressive. I've seen engravings from 1640 out of stages with fog machines, with angels suspended from wires, with massive mechanical devices underneath the stage that drive boats and waves. I thought how incredible at that time, so I thought it would be nice to mirror that sort of technology in using the technology of today. I really like two moments when we try to visualise what they have in mind, what the singer have in mind. So we have these two kind of moments where like a pixel digital phase appear and in these two moments I really like the visual because it's like represent what the singer have in mind. So Feo and Rodic, it is this big search of love and this was a big challenge. There's an amazing range of stuff they can do with it and it really adds an amazing dimension and depth I think to the performance. It means that what happens on stage is complimented all the time by what you see on the screen. It's a really fantastic job that I think. I was in touch with Brian Smith who was very generous to guide me to some astronomical data which I imported into the software and then used to set up the star field for the final scene where Feo and Apollo were sent to heaven.
