Join composer Mark Simpson and librettist Melanie Challenger in conversation about the inner-workings of the composer/librettist dynamic. They will delve into the themes and ideas that excite them, and talk specifically about their award-winning collaborations, specifically The Immortal based on Victorian occultism, and their chamber opera Pleasure set in the toilets of a gay night club written for Opera North, Aldeburgh Music and the Royal Opera House. They are currently working on a new large-scale opera together.
