Pullman Opera
Opera is often perceived as stuffy and elitist but a new production hopes to challenge such image by bringing in a younger audience to the opera house. Based on a novel by children's author Philip Pullman (Dark Materials) and set in the Far East, the Firework maker's daughter tells the story of a young girl who wants to be a firework-maker, like her father. Samira Ahmed discusses sparks, fantasy and opera clich茅s with composer David Bruce and librettist Glyn Maxwell.
