Hey, Maudie: A Radical New Opera Designed by a Visual Artist

Led by internationally acclaimed artist Rachel Jones, Hey, Maudie radically redefines creative models in opera by combining literature, poetry, music and fashion.

Together with poet Victoria Adukwei Bulley and composer Joseph Howard, Jones’ opera brings to life a ground-breaking operatic character—Gwendolyn Brooks’ Maud Martha—offering a fresh, immersive exploration of her inner world, as Maud strives to find meaning, and rest, in her everyday life.
