A century on, this new chamber opera by Alex Mills explores a fascinating snapshot of society’s sex life using extracts from thousands of emotionally-charged letters Stopes received in response to her book, which feel just as powerful and relevant now as they were 100 years ago. The opera was first performed at Wellcome Collection museum as part of the Tête à Tête opera festival in 2018. This production brings together the original team with new staging conceived specially for Kings Place.

Erika Fox CD release (NMC records)

Date	City	Venue	Country
28/06/19	London	NMC Records	United Kingdom
	Age restrictions: All Ages. Goldfield Ensemble & Richard Baker conductor Cat no.: NMC D254 Total duration: 76’32 Release Date: 28 June 2019 ‘It is incredibly rare to stumble across a virtually unknown or forgotten composer whose music genuinely excites and delivers, piece after piece. Erika Fox’s language is bold, feisty, uncompromising and astonishingly fresh. A highly distinctive style has emerged from a childhood suffused with music of Eastern European origin. Hasidic music, liturgical chant embellished with heterophony mingle with modal ancient melodic lines reminiscent of Eastern European folk music. She is a composer who is constantly energised by sound and its inexhaustible possibilities.’ Kate Romano (Artistic Director of Goldfi eld Ensemble) We are delighted to bring her music to a new audience on this first commercial album and have selected six chamber pieces spanning a 25 year period (1980 – 2005). They represent the depth and scope of Fox’s music and are a fine introduction to her extraordinary musical imagination.

It is based on the critically acclaimed book, The Astronomer and the Witch, by librettist and author Ulinka Rublack.

This statue, which is displayed in the V&A became an allegorical emblem for the opera, representing mothers, old age, and female struggles in the context of the witchcraft trails of Katherina Kepler.
