"If you thought that new opera could only be starkly realistic depictions of the world's decay, after Sky in a Small Cage at the Copenhagen Opera Festival, you might think again." Read the latest review from yesterday's #WorldPremiere of #SkyInASmallCage seismograf.org/kortkritik/hur…

Just saw عبدالله الروضان rolf hind ‘Sky in a Small Cage’ I’m still struggling to comprehend it all, mind blown and challenged - will take me few days to appreciate and reflect. Honestly well done to Riot Ensemble Mahogany Opera an absolute FORCE.

I loved “Sky in a Small Cage” Barbican Centre last night: an operatic homage to Sufism and the great love-poet Rumi; spacious, resonant, lyrical, unrestrainedly sensual. Bravo, rolf hind and AmorousShepherd

🕊️🕊️ ….and exhale…. incredible to bring #skyinasmallcage onto the Barbican Centre stage on Sunday. Fantastic team to work and collaborate with ❤️‍🔥 rolf hind and a special shout-out to Aaron Holloway-Nahum for eloquently powering us through this incredible music! Mahogany Opera #newopera

Sky in a Small Cage 🦚 from Copenhagen Opera Festival to Barbican Centre it was a joy, rewarding challenge, and just great FUN to be a small part of Mahogany Opera's production of rolf hind's new work.

Lovely, thoughtful write-up of Sky in a Small Cage from Tim Rutherford-Johnson. "Hind’s music and Dante Micheaux’s libretto tied together this (love-like) story with a path towards enlightenment, threading them around each other in both their joys and perils." johnsonsrambler.wordpress.com
