In response to the first waves of the covid crisis, Rachael Hewer and Lee Reynolds formed an online opera company, re-orchestrated a masterpiece, and pulled together hundreds of musicians, creators, and technicians to create an entirely online operatic experience. Made almost entirely in isolation, and providing vital work and pay to all involved, Vopera20s L'Enfant et les Sortileges was a labour of love that became an award-winning online sensation.

​

Working with Rachael, I conceived and created two key scenes in this remarkable work: the Frog Ballet, using Pearl Bates' beautiful frog portraits, merged with the faces of every single member of the Vopera Chorus, and the moving 'Il est bon, l'Enfant" which connected Vopera with dozens of locked down theatres around the world, who personally shared photos of their shuttered venues.
