Episodes

2020 RPS Inspiration Award winner 
The Inspiration Award is a new category that was introduced to celebrate the artists that kept creating during the spring lockdown. RPS (Royal Philharmonic Society) opened nominations to the public for the first time, receiving more than 2600 nominations.
“Episodes” brought together 40 young composers, librettists, singers and musicians to create a series of short clips revolving around the current crisis, some with positive messages and some rather on the side of situational comedy, highlighting some of the human qualities that the situation brings up in a light-hearted manner.

Reviews

RPS Inspiration Award Winner

“A number of small organisations with little means have been admirably inventive in lockdown. Giving valued work to a host of composers and performers, this young opera company’s series of specially made mini-operas have delighted nominees with their ingenuity and wit”

The Arts Desk

“These bite-sized pieces are both manageable in duration and also use the medium to go beyond what is possible in a live setting, rather than just being poor substitutes for the real thing. Once again, hats off to The Opera Story.”

Opera

“The visual treatments are as varied as the subject matter, and the singers make an impressive virtual troupe”
