In a world premiere, two of the UK’s most vital and influential queer voices join forces for a three-part operatic first. Mark Ravenhill (Shopping and Fucking) and Conor Mitchell’s Abomination, a DUP opera piercing new work looks beneath the perfect lives of Helen, her husband, Thomas and their haunted son, Zach – finding a hidden, much closer war.

The latest collaboration between the award-winning Belfast Ensemble and Outburst Queer Arts Festival, this powerful triptych of short operas is performed in one night, blending multi-media with live performance, international soloists and chamber orchestra.

A co-production between The Belfast Ensemble & Outburst Arts for Outburst Queer Arts Festival.

Supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council and The Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
