The Face in the Mirror
A one-act opera for youth chorus
Commissioned by Welsh National Opera
The Face in the Mirror is a magical ghost story with a World War 2 theme. Performed entirely by a chorus of children, it pulls a powerful emotional punch. Playground chants, air raid sirens and soaring melodies collide as the dramatic stories of two separate generations intertwine.
