National Opera Studio presents UnHappy Families, scenes from contemporary opera linked to magnify familiar tensions, presenting the grotesque and often humorous friction created by unruly children, liaisons between husbands, wives and mistresses and the mayhem that unfolds in the pursuit of domestic bliss. You will be glad these are not your families.

Composers include Stephen Sondheim, John Adams, Jonathan Dove, Harrison Birtwhistle, Thomas Adès and David Blake.
