Unaccompanied Minors From Around The World To Perform At Investec Opera Holland Park
40 young people aged between 15 and 21, who have recently arrived in the UK and are seeking asylum, are creating their own mini-opera for Investec Opera Holland Park's (OHP) stage. Refuge in Harmony, a project devised by OHP in partnership with the British Red Cross, is a platform for these young people to tell their stories, re-establish identities and gain confidence via the instinctive languages of music and drama. The group is creating its own 20-minute performance piece with the help of composer Laura Bowler, director Ruth Mariner and OHP singers Nicholas Garrett, Joanna Harries, Felix Kemp and Nicola Said.
