THE GREAT STINK
English Touring Opera presents The Great Stink, a hilarious, fun-filled family show set in Victorian London about poo… lots of it! Touring the UK in Spring 2024.
My mission to bridge cultural divides, combined with a contagious ability to share the fun of classical music, has led to many unique collaborations, including the Royal Opera House, English National Opera, the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Glyndebourne, and the Barbican Centre.

Projects
Through my collaborative work I have created a reputation for using best artistic and educational practices developed by the world’s leading opera houses. Recent projects include composing the digital mini-opera Finish This (English National Opera) and the opera for young adults with special needs, The Extraordinary Adventures of You and Me (English Touring Opera).
FINISH THIS
This exciting digital project fusing opera, live film and animation has inspired over 14,000 primary school students across the UK to compose music as part of the “Finish This” project.
