The story of Adam and Eve's banishment from the Garden of Eden has a particular resonance in a time of growing awareness of man's impact on the planet. This moving and poignant 50-minute church opera in 12 scenes is scored for an unusual but approachable line-up: 2 solo singers, chorus, string quartet, timpani and organ. Ideal for companies taking work out of the opera house and introducing opera to the wider community.
