As part of the original festival (before the strangeness of our current situation), Julia was set to premiere her clever one-act opera, The Y Knot, which was formed with guidance from Michael McCarthy, Music Theatre Wales. Julia’s concept for the opera is something we find truly fascinating! Set inside a dictionary, The Y Knot explores Julia’s versatility as an artist, displaying her compositional strength as well as her skills as a librettist. Describing the opera’s clever wordplay, Julia says, “there’s a dual with words, there’s humour, it’s rather like a whimsical fable for adults, but touching on themes like how we deal with seismic shifts in our circumstances, mental health and our propensity to believe fake news.” We are excited for the day (hopefully soon) when we will finally be able to witness a full production of Julia’s work!

We are certain Julia’s Suite will sweeten your day! Don’t miss it! Tune into Atmospheres Radio on Saturday May 2, 5pm! Click here to listen!
