UGLY OPERA

Ugly Opera explores loops of demolition in Birmingham, wanting to understand how decisions get made and where they sit within the identity of the city as a whole. We question whose voices are missing from planning decisions, what gets lost when we demolish, and what are the alternatives. 

We will be presenting two work in progress sharings on the 16th October at 11am and 3pm in Birmingham. Please email me for more details if you would like to join us.

This is a piece of contemporary Opera created by:

Yael Shavit & Toria Banks | Dramaturgs

Created with support from the Arts Council England, the Warwick Arts Centre Seed Commission, and the Birmingham Hippodrome.
