This is an opera, but not as you know it. Expect powerful live music blending classical, folk, and electronic influences. Relatable characters and a chorus of local voices surges through the story like the tide itself. At times funny, moving, and deeply human, this is a story that will make you laugh, think, and perhaps see yourself reflected in its cast of Islanders, returners, and dreamers. Led by Jersey-born mezzo-soprano Georgia Mae Bishop, and performed by three professional singers all born in Jersey, Held in the Tide is the result of a year-long collaboration between young Islanders aged 18-30 and a team of world-class opera-makers.
