The Path to Heaven
Thursday 21 June at 7.30pm, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester
An opera by Adam Gorb and Ben Kaye
A powerful tale of extremism, expedience and deceit, The Path to Heaven exposes the disintegration of the loves, lives and hopes of a family struggling to survive during the Holocaust.
Sara, Hanna, Dieter, Magda and Hans return home from a party to find that having ‘danced too long in the moonlight’, evil stalks them from the darkness.
The discovery that their adoptive parents have disappeared triggers a descent into a nightmare from which none will escape unchanged. A meticulously-researched series of individual real stories has been woven into a thrilling new opera for the 21st Century.
Performed by musicians from Psappha and The Royal Northern College of Music.
