Brass Poppies a new chamber opera by Ross Harris and Vincent O'Sullivan Photo: Supplied
Brass Poppies is a chamber opera from the productive relationship of composer Ross Harris and librettist Vincent O'Sullivan. It focuses on the disastrous Gallipoli campaign and the fate of the Wellington Regiment at Chunuk Bair. But it's also the human story Harris and O'Sullivan tell: by giving a voice to the women and families left behind Brass Poppies becomes a lament for lost and damaged lives.
Brass Poppies is being performed at New Zealand Festival and Auckland Arts Festival.
