In Five Years' Time
The Space, E14 3RS , [Venue Details]In Five Years’ Time is a ‘drama in song’ based on an experimental play by Spain’s favourite poet, Federico García Lorca.
The Music Troupe
Displaying the group’s trademark lyricism, the music is stimulating and accessible while the drama and poetry are uniquely heart-rending.
This surreal work explores themes of love, identity, and decay, yet does so in the manner of a fairy tale, clothed in fun and topsy-turviness. Lorca himself said it was impossible to stage, but The Music Troupe has put together a cast of 8 superb singers – playing 14 roles – to bring this operatic adaptation to life in the style of a cabaret.

Bridesmaid 1 / Dying Child: Rosalind Dobson (soprano)
Bridesmaid 2 / Dying Cat: Mae Heydorn (mezzo–soprano)
Belisa / Italian Countess: Lucy Gibbs (mezzo–soprano)

by Federico García Lorca

Bachtrack “Lambert has embraced the Gothic style and sentimentality of this tale of love & murder effectively, with an ode to the human voice… the melodrama was delicious and …this is a slick and stylised production.”
