Freya Waley-Cohen discusses 'WITCH'
Academy alumna Freya Waley-Cohen discusses 'WITCH', her newly commissioned opera with a libretto by Ruth Mariner, which offers two interwoven narratives that reclaim the idea of female agency and desire. This is a magical realist coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of the historical horror of what it has meant to be a woman fighting for power and freedom.
'WITCH' plays as part of a triple bill from Royal Academy Opera from Wednesday 23 - Saturday 26 March. Tickets are available here > https://tickets.ram.ac.uk/sales/categories/opera/royal-academy-opera-triple-bil
