Prepare for a landmark artistic collaboration that redefines the sound of contemporary opera. Divine Feminine, a powerful, 50-minute semi-staged opera commissioned by the BBC, is the newest work from boundary-pushing artist Shiva Feshareki. Feshareki, live on electronics and turntables, will create a dynamic sonic tapestry by weaving her sound with the Upper Voices of the BBC Singers and Vox Urbane, part of their celebrated Next-Gen initiative.

The concept explores the enduring archetype of the Goddess across cultures and ages, asking a vital question: what is the relevance of the Divine Feminine in our modern world? Under the direction of conductor Lucy Goddard, this is more than a performance; it’s an empowering, futuristic vision of vocal music.

With an original libretto written by award-winning poet Karen McCarthy Woolf, and choreography direction by acclaimed multidisciplinary artist Becky Namgauds.
