The true story of two Victorian poets and lovers, who lived and wrote under the pseudonym, Michael Field. This podcast opera combines the journals, poetry and letters of Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper with an original score by Tom Floyd, and explores the sensual, fantastical and witty world of Michael Field, and his struggle with Victorian patriarchy.

The Royal Opera House Youth Opera Company spent 2 weeks devising a new opera with Tom and Director Freya Wynne Jones which the company then performed at the Bridewell Theatre ( conductor: Tom Floyd, Piano: Ashley Beauchamp). Through a series of improvisation and devising sessions responding to the brief of “You, the children, wake up in a strange world with no adults” the youth company created a dramatic story, wrote the libretto, and worked with Tom to create a 30 minute, fully staged opera.

Tom joined Into Opera as Musical Director on their major opera and education project, A Kings Ransom - a 6 month project of opera rehearsals and workshops with 200 children from 4 schools in Norfolk. The participants went from knowing nearly nothing about opera, to performing a fully staged 2 act opera, accompanied by the Britten Sinfonia, conducted by Tom Floyd. Beyond learning and staging the opera, this project gave participants weekly contact with a variety of creative professionals and the transformative effect of this was remarkable.

Tom co-produced this production which curated cabaret songs by composers from Berg to Bernstein, with guest star cabaret artist Frieda Love. Each act was directed by a London filmmaker, combining live performance and film to create immersive, multimedia scenes.

The event app streamed live subtitles to the audience's smartphones, as well as extra behind-the-scenes content to enjoy before, during and after the show.
