1 6 How to Kill Your Husband (and Other Handy Household Hints) Timothy Daly , Alan John (composer), 2011 single work musical theatre opera humour 'Victorian Opera has transformed Kathy Lette's best-selling, funny and wise novel into an irresistible brand new opera.

'This witty and irreverent tale follows the lives of married couples Cass and Rory, and Jas and Studz. Filled with handy life hints, this brand new chamber opera will take you on a hilarious romp through a series of misdemeanours and betrayals, leading to a dramatic climax - confirming all that is domestic is not necessarily filled with bliss!'

1 2 Through the Looking Glass Andrew Upton , Alan John (composer), 2008 single work musical theatre opera 'On a boating trip with seven year old Alice Liddell, Carroll gifted her with the fantastic story which would soon be indelibly associated with her name - a gift that would re-cast her as a pawn in the fantastic underworld of The Looking Glass. This glass is as much kaleidoscope as mirror, where space and time are refracted, splintering into chaos as rhyming flowers, roaring royals and reluctant foodstuffs wage war on sense and sensibility. While beneath it all stretches the long shadow of this mad world's creator, Master of Divinity, Lewis Carroll ... the writer and photographer - whose twinned passions he employed to freeze the object of his affection, where age and memory could not work their ways. Is this what Alice comes to discover in her looking glass: that her image, perhaps, was never her own?
