About

Set in 1753, (although the music is not fashioned on that of the era) the story is an old-fashioned ‘opera-seria’ on the subject of conflict between head and heart, duty and inclincation, based around a composer who falls in love with a castrato.

Awards and reviews

December 2005

The Intelligence Park has worn well, with a score that has all the energy, quirky humour and vertiginous changes of mood and direction that we have come to associate with Barry's music. Whether it’s dynamics or emotional intensity, Barry takes everything to extremes and this performance, with Richard Jackson as the composer, countertenor Nicholas Clapton as the castrato and Angela Tunstall as the love interest, is wonderfully theatrical.
