Capturing the drama of the backstage world during a performance of La traviata by Opera North, Tragedy, by artist and film-maker Lynne Marsh, is available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.
Uncovering a parallel narrative that unfolds in the ‘real time’ of the opera, Marsh turns her camera on the hidden elements of the production, exploring the performance from the perspectives of stage managers, technicians, dressers and performers backstage. The mechanics that create the staged event are laid bare as operatic tradition comes into contact with the reality of backstage work.
The film has been made available on BBC iPlayer for 30 days (from Friday 26 June 2020).
Please note: All live stream events are subject to change. Not all events listed are live performances by the artist - they also include archived concerts, DJ sets, masterclasses, Q&As and more.
