This summer marks the 19th year of the Arcola Theatre’s seminal Grimeborn festival, a season of new and reworked operas.
Jen chats to the Arcola’s executive director, Leyla Nazli and Lisa Logan,
the composer behind new work After My Breath, about bringing opera to Dalston, why people find the art form intimidating, and those comments by Timothée Chalamet.
The Grimeborn Opera Festival runs from 15 July to 5 September at the
Arcola Theatre, London.
