Orlando

About This Movie

Orlando (2022), directed by Polly Graham, is quite an intriguing piece. It weaves together various musical styles, thanks to Olga Neuwirth's impressive composition. The atmosphere feels rich and layered, not just in sound but in its exploration of identity and societal constructs. Kate Lindsey's performance is something else entirely—her voice has this haunting quality that draws you in, while the production itself has a rawness that feels authentic. The pacing can be a tad unconventional, which might not sit well with everyone, but it adds to the overall experience. This opera isn't just a show; it’s more like a commentary on the fluidity of existence, all wrapped in a vibrant musical tapestry.
