Daed Wedding

04/07/07

If you're a fan of Tim Burton's work, you'll like this. Macabre yet strangely touching, Dead Wedding is a unique commission for the Manchester International Festival. It's part puppet show, part opera and the music is as hypnotic as the Greek gods and stuffed skeletons.

Using puppets, film, and live musicians to re-invent and re-mix the centuries-old myth of Orpheus and Eurydice for the 21st century, this one-off marks the 400th anniversary of opera.
