Craig's Progress

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Martin Butler and Stephen Pruslin 's opera in two acts. Opera meets comic book in the story of Craig, a hero for the 1990s who sets out to reach the top. His voyage of self-discovery leads from boardroom to boiler-room, from ice world to outer space.
This recording is of the world premiere given by Mecklenburgh Opera at the Queen Elizabeth Hall ,
London, last June. The cast of 49 characters is sung by just five singers.
Jeremy Huw Williams (baritone)
Simone Sauphanor (soprano)

Andrew Slater (bass) Mecklenburgh Opera Ensemble, conductor
Anne Manson
Martin Butter 's BBC commission
Hootenanny is broadcast next Sunday at 9.15pm
