LYNCHOPERA.
“Based on David Lynch’s 1997 film, Neuwirth’s theatre piece has travelled widely since it was first seen five years ago - mainly, one suspects, because Lynch fans have been curious to discover how such a psychological thriller could be reinvented for the lyric stage…. If Lynch’s compelling storytelling survives its transformation, it is debatable whether that is because of Neuwirth’s score or in spite of it. But the show is worth seeing: this is contemporary European music theatre of a kind rarely staged in Britain.”
