Event information
'Rejoice because there’s nothing left on a morrow-less day.'
Blake, a musician, has recently escaped rehab to return home. But he is haunted by objects, visitors and memories distracting him from his true purpose – self-destruction.
Adapted from Gus Van Sant’s 2005 film based on the final days of Kurt Cobain, this new opera plunges into the torment that created a modern myth. Music by ROH/Guildhall School Composer-in-Residence Oliver Leith, libretto by Matt Copson, directed by Matt Copson and Anna Morrissey.
Based on the film Last Days written and directed by Gus Van Sant and produced by HBO Films
Sung in English with English surtitles
Suitable for ages 16+. Please see the Royal Opera House website for further guidance.
