A darkly comic opera that makes an ecological point, commissioned and performed by W11 Children’s Opera, as their millennium production. First performed at St. James Norlands, London in 2000. DEEP WATERS was specially written for a cast of over 80 children of widely-varied musical experience. The action begins with a wild, raging storm. Four children fall overboard to the bottom of the sea. In this supernatural, aquatic world, where the fish play havoc with each other in a bid to survive, the children find that they can now breathe. With a ghastly sense of impending doom, they realize that it was no accident that brought them here. They have a dangerous task to perform. An opera that is witty but with a dark edge, it has a serious issue at its heart – over-fishing. Later performed elsewhere.
