The Mourning Show

On his regular morning radio show, BBC DJ Chris Evans is called by three increasingly strange women. Something transpires. Something dark. But you'll have to wait and see.

A new opera by Ergo Phizmiz.

Starring Erik Bumbledonk, and featuring the disembodied voices of Margita Zalite, Lucinda Guy, and Martha Moopette. With The Travelling Mongoose as the Plague Doctor.

Premiering at De Player, Rotterdam, who also commissioned the opera, on May 8, 2010, to be followed by small-scale European and UK tours. Tour dates to be announced soon.
