Winner of the FEDORA Opera Prize 2023

On 22 April, the winner of the FEDORA Opera Prize 2023, "Untold", reached the stage in Brugge.

Untold is an "anti-opera" exploring transnational Chinese identities by composer Alex Ho and creative director Julia Cheng, and performed by Keith Pun and Tangram. If you know Cinderella, you know Ye Xian. Predating the European fairy tale, Ye Xian follows a path familiar to many in search of a place to belong. Untold reveals new twists conjuring to life Ye Xian's story of the transnational journey between and beyond different cultures. Co-created by composer Alex Ho and creative director and choreographer Julia Cheng, Untold weaves together movement and music into an intricate tapestry of colours, sounds, memories, and dreams, imagining a more hopeful future for Ye Xian and those who come after.

Untold began its journey in 2019 as a 45 minutes version which won the George Butterworth Award for Outstanding New Work. HERE AND THERE - UNTOLD won the FEDORA Opera Prize 2023 as part of the HERE AND THERE project of O. Festival for Opera. Music. Theatre. with creative director Rajiv Bhagwanbali.
