The Grief Opera

An extraordinary journey from shock and pain to profound love, the Grief Opera may be the most emotional show you see this year.

When rock musician George Linacre died by suicide, his father Nigel started to write.  And Vladimir Miller, a contemporary music band leader, began composing using George’s bass rhythms. Together, they created the Grief Opera.

An extraordinary journey from shock and pain to profound love, the Grief Opera may be the most emotional show you see this year. The Grief Opera shines a spotlight on suicide, the most common cause of death in young men, and the consequent, harrowing grief. Its creators hope it will enable people to have potentially life-saving conversations and to work with their grief. Mr. Miller lost a band member to suicide earlier in his career.

An opera, concert and musical rolled into one, it fuses haunting melodies and quirky jazz.

"It has touched me deeply and contains messages that will stay with me for life" 

"Brave, compassionate, beautifully realised."
