Australian Contemporary Opera Company: ‘Mary Motorhead and Trade’

TWO RIVETING ONE-ACT IRISH OPERAS.

Dynamic composer Emma O’Halloran has turned two of her uncle Mark O’Halloran’s plays into a critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated opera double bill.

MARY MOTORHEAD: Mary has been locked up after stabbing her husband in the head with a 12-inch carving knife. She reveals aspects of her background that shaped her nature and limited her life choices - her "secret history".       

TRADE: An encounter between a young man and his middle-aged client in a seedy hotel room exposes a painful portrait of power dynamics and vulnerabilities in an unequal relationship.
