A place of unrest and uncertainty. The ability to sleep is a distant memory. Panic and terror ensues. A group of young people have a secret to protect, but the military are closing in... THE SLEEPER - A new commision by Welsh National Youth Opera. The Sleeper is a new opera performed by the acclaimed Welsh National Youth Opera. Award-winning Librettist Michael Symmons Roberts (The Sacrifice), and Composer Stephen Deazley’s chilling and haunting tale asks the question, what happens to society when our most human needs are denied? WNO invites you to walk into this nightmarish world and follow this story as it unfolds around you. Rarely will you feel so up close and involved in the action of an opera. The Sleeper will be a promenade performance, so please expect to do a small amount of walking. There will be limited seating, please remember to wear sensible shoes. Running time approx 1 hour 15 minutes
