This was a project developed with conductor Peter Ash, creating a performable version of Debussy’s unfinished fragments, staged in the very atmospheric Christchurch in Spitalfields, London. It was a double bill with Berlioz’ Cléopatre.
The London International Opera Festival then asked for a fully staged version for the Queen Elisabeth Hall. That was the start of Francisco’s early collaboration with designer Nigel Lowery. The show was bought by the Lisbon festival.
