For You is a thrilling opera, full of dark obsession and misplaced passion, from two of the UK’s leading creative figures.
It follows the story of composer and compulsive womaniser, Charles Frieth – charismatic, egocentric and completely oblivious to the destructive desire about to be unleashed at the very heart of his household.
The brilliantly crafted text by Ian McEwan has all the elements that have made his novels Atonement, Enduring Love, Saturday and On Chesil Beach number one bestsellers. It has inspired a wonderful score from composer and broadcaster Michael Berkeley - music filled with powerful undercurrents, dramatic force and impassioned vocal writing.
Creating the role of Charles Frieth is the internationally renowned baritone Alan Opie. He is joined by an outstanding cast which includes Christopher Lemmings, Rachel Nicholls, Helen Williams, Jeremy Huw Williams, and Allison Cook.
