FellSwoop Theatre

Ghost Opera follows two strangers who are both haunted by living ghosts in their everyday. One haunted by her dying mother, and the other, his celebrity idol. Escaping to seek refuge at a spa retreat, the thirty year-old woman and seventeen year-old boy meet and together try to resist becoming that which haunts them.

Although using music and sung text throughout, Ghost Opera is far from being an ‘opera’ in the traditional sense. It takes its name from an ancient practice: the Ghost Operas in which humans and spirits of past and present could communicate with each other. This inspired the company to create this tale about the haunted using a form of their own invention.
