The rescheduled season of New Zealand Opera’s critically acclaimed Eight Songs for a Mad King heads to Tūranga, in Otautahi, on 3, 5 & 6 December.
Eight Songs for a Mad King explores the complicated relationship between mental health and power. This concept is reinforced by a double performance that will see audiences, split into two groups of 50, experience the work once inside and up close to the performer, and once outside listening through headphones. South Island Baritone Robert Tucker is pushed to the very limits of a singer’s endurance as he sings across five octaves, accompanied by Stroma New Music Ensemble.
“This whole show is terrific, its well thought out, its well realised, and as you can hear it demands a really committed and skilful singer and Robert Tucker was all that and then some.” – RNZ
“..a must-see” – NZ Herald
