In November last year, we were delighted to premiere 12:42 - a unique film documenting the collaborative creative process of producing brand new operas under lockdown conditions.

Produced almost entirely in quarantine, the documentary follows the ambitious journey of 42 creative people – comprising the National Opera Studio’s Young Artist singers and repetiteurs, in close collaboration with some of today’s most exciting composers and librettists from around the world — to create eleven new opera arias entirely through online work and digital media.

To find out more about the project and explore the arias featured in the documentary head to our 12:42 page here:
