Shared Ethos

Forest Collective presents
Shared Ethos: Calypso

Forest Collective’s exciting 2013 season culminates with the world premiere of Calypso, a new opera telling the intriguing story from Homer’s Odyssey, written by the youthful Melbourne team of Evan Lawson and Samuel Yeo. This tale of free will versus fate, and of the line between love and obsession, will bring together a talented orchestra and cast, with its darkly comic characters brought to life by well-known young opera singers.
