In 2025 The Celestials will receive its world premiere as a fully staged opera by the Victorian Opera Company at the Playhouse at Arts Centre Melbourne.
Eurasian librettist Vanessa Bates has collaborated with Melbourne based composers Wang Zheng Ting and Mark Elliot to create the 90 minute work for Chinese and Irish traditional instruments and symphonic augmentation. The opera will feature a vocal cast of 8 plus chorus.
This blog was created by the author of the novel, The Celestials as a resource for the opera’s creative team.
