"Anthropocene" is a thrilling opera for the 21st century! Set aboard an exploration vessel trapped in Arctic ice, a team of scientists and a wealthy individual encounter a mysterious creature that challenges their understanding of life and death. This gripping operatic thriller unfolds in a world reshaped by climate change and humanity's impact on our planet Earth.

Stuart MacRae (*1976) is considered one of the most intriguing contemporary composers. He has composed for the London Sinfonietta and BBC Proms and served as Composer-in-Residence with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. "Anthropocene" marks his fourth collaboration with librettist Louise Welsh, who has also gained recognition as a writer.
