Description

Ben and Imo by Mark Ravenhill As the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II approaches, Benjamin Britten faces a daunting task: writing a new opera about her predecessor Elizabeth I. Enter Imogen Holst, daughter of Gustav and an accomplished musician in her own right, who brings a much-needed spark to the disheartened composer. Their unlikely partnership blossoms into a lasting bond that not only sees Gloriana to its premiere but endures throughout their lives. This edition coincides with the world premiere at the Swan Theatre, Stratford, in February 2024. A poignant and engaging story of artistic collaboration and enduring friendship, Ben and Imo is a fascinating tale of two creative minds coming together to create something truly special.
