What we achieved

  • “A World First” – we delivered a phenomenal never been done hyper-reality opera; a timely experiment during a global pandemic, blending historic stagecraft, artistic excellence, and cutting-edge technology.
  • Staged the show on a multi-sensory set, inviting audiences to step into a bespoke ‘Opera Tardis’ and experience a dream-like journey carried musically by a poem layered in song.
  • A hybrid of live and VR multi-sensory experience, TPF production managed the build, install and delivery of this innovative and radical way of seeing opera.

TPF pulled together and led the build team (freelance carpenters/set builders) for the installation. TPF’s procurement approach meant that we could deliver the full scope of the design within relatively tiny budget. We are so pleased with the final install. The team were also wonderful, very collaborative and flexible, and a joy to work with.”
