Nigel Linacre started writing the lyrics for The Grief Opera when his son, George, died by his own hand. Vladimir Miller used George’s rhythms as a foundation for the music he composed.
The Grief Opera is somewhere between a small-scale opera, a standing concert and a musical, in which amateur singers, narrators and musicians are joined by Vladimir Miller on piano, and international opera star Neil Latchman and rock singer Keri Farish as lead vocalists, in a community initiative promoting Suicide Awareness. The Grief Opera is profoundly emotional, and has been described as “harrowing but ultimately uplifting”.
