Atlas of Remote Islands

Composer: Nathan Hall
Director:Jackï Job
Musical Director:Nathan Lewis
Featuring:CTO Judith Neilson Young Artists

A one-act opera inspired by Judith Schalansky's 2009 non-fiction book and adapted by Alan Olejniczak. Through haunting, poetic descriptions, it explores real islands around the world—some uncharted, some lost and rediscovered, some uninhabited, and some purely scientific. With a rapidly shifting cast of characters, Atlas transports audiences across these remote landscapes, weaving a tale of longing, curiosity and wanderlust. It reminds us that while the destinations may not always meet our expectations, the true magic is in what lies beyond.
