Work introduction
In June 2013 we conducted a video interview with composer Luke Bedford about his chamber opera Through His Teeth, which was commissioned by the Royal Opera House and premièred on 3 April 2014.
Intrigued by the composer’s words, we decided that we’d continue to document the work’s process of creation, providing readers with regular updates regarding the development of Trough His Teeth, ranging from the composing of the score and the writing of David Harrower’s libretto to the actual printing of the score and its production. Find out more on our Through His Teeth blog.
Bedford's Opera received a delightful SWR studio recording of the Opera Factory Freiburg and Holst-Sinfonietta conducted by Klaus Simon. This first recording was released by the label "bastille musique".
