“(Armstrong) has devised a score that is intoxicating in the images it amplifies – a dense minimalist soundscape…”

Ellida, the daughter of a lighthouse-keeper, lives a narrow life with a husband several years her senior. Full of longing for the sea and for a freedom she does not have, she is shaken from her lethargy when the unexpected arrival of a mysterious stranger creates a storm that threatens to submerge the whole family. He offers an escape from the stifling world she inhabits, and Ellida must decide whether to do her duty or answer the call of the sea…This re-telling of Ibsen’s darkly beautiful drama written in 1888, unites Craig Armstrong and award-winning author Zoë Strachan. The libretto captures the intoxicating and stifling atmosphere of the original play. Whilst Armstrong’s score amplifies the densely felt landscape, clearly transporting the listener alongside Ellida’s feelings of entrapment and overwhelm. This darkly beautiful opera captures Ibsen’s haunting love story, garnering The Herald Angel Award after its premiere at Edinburgh International Festival.

Though both Armstrong and Strachan have produced work for the experimental Scottish Opera program, Five:15 – Operas Made in Scotland, this is the first time they have worked together. The Lady From The Sea was conducted by Derek Clark. It is written for chamber orchestra and eight voices. The original stage production of the opera in 2012, was directed by Harry Fehr, stage design by Yannis Thavoris and featured film by the video designer Finn Ross.
