Inspired by real life experiences, Welsh National Opera explore different tales of migration in a brand-new epic opera, Migrations. Over 100 incredible singe...

Hear from Will Todd, the composer, as well as the conductor and cast members of our new opera, Migrations, as they discuss the diverse stories and cast that make up this epic theatrical event. With six disparate storylines discussing migrations in different times and cultures, we hear how music is used to tell the stories on stage.

Migrations Todd

The desire to broaden our horizons is a natural one, but for many, it is a necessity to improve on circumstances. However, the result of doing so often has unintended consequences. 

Through a series of parallel storylines, Welsh National Opera’s new opera explores the highs and lows of migration: from the migration of birds to the sailing of The Mayflower over 400 years ago; from the story of an Afro-Caribbean slave in Bristol to the experience of Indian doctors working in the NHS.

The versatility of the music, composed by British composer Will Todd (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland), is unlike anything ever performed at WNO, and adapts to the setting and mood of each narrative, written by six writers from diverse backgrounds. An expanded WNO Orchestra is joined by a cast of over 100 performers, including WNO Chorus, Renewal Choir Community Chorus, Bollywood ensemble and a children’s chorus.

This is an epic drama on a huge scale, an unmissable live experience.
