'Rejoice because there’s nothing left on a morrow-less day.'

Blake, a musician, has recently escaped rehab to return home. But he is haunted by objects, visitors and memories distracting him from his true purpose – self-destruction. Adapted from Gus Van Sant’s 2005 film based on the final days of Kurt Cobain, this new opera plunges into the torment that created a modern myth. Music by ROH/Guildhall School Composer-in-Residence Oliver Leith, libretto by Matt Copson, directed by Matt Copson and Anna Morrissey.

Last Days by Leith, From (2022/2022), Directed by Matt Copson, Anna Morrissey,, Conductor Jack Sheen, Royal Opera House, London, United Kingdom
