We are delighted to invite you to our first film sharing of this Opera-Film!
Last Party on Earth is a post-apocalyptic farce created during the pandemic of Covid-19 reflecting on the dystopian present of the time and the possible future threats like climate change, despotic regimes, cyber surveillance and therefore the loss of our inner child.
Evoking everything from early opera to vaudeville entertainment, a musical comedy of manners at the end of civilisation.
Following fire, flood and virus, two survivors wander in a barren landscape. In her decrepit bunker, they come across the self-isolating, stockpiling Queen of Cans who invites them in to party. Can love blossom even as life on Earth perishes? And who or what is the Dark One of whom they are so terrified? Stripped to its essentials, with only an accordion for company, this comic opera turns out to be no laughing matter.
Filmed during the summer of 2020 and given a​ live performance in concert in September 2020 at The Cockpit London as part of the Tête à Tête Opera Festival.
