The Royal Opera House (ROH) has announced its plans to celebrate International Women’s Day 2022.

ROH will present “Lost and Found” a collection of seven, train-themed micro operas written entirely by women. The performances will take place at St. Pancras International Station from 11 am until 4 p.m. on March 8.

The source material for “Lost and Found” comes from anecdotes submitted by the public to ROH focusing on themes of time, meeting, farewells, and motion; making St. Pancras the perfect performance space.

Travelers at the Eurostar terminal will hear “Everything you carry” by Georgia Barnes and Olivia Bell and “It’s The Little Things” by Rose Hall and Katie Colombus. These operas explore the monotony of everyday commuting and in turn the point of view of someone waiting an arrival gate.

At the National Rail Station Service, the departing commuters will be serenaded by Laura Reid and Oge Nwosu’s “Detritus.” This song is sung from the perspective of a cleaner reuniting people with their lost items.

The iconic statue “The Metting Place” will see four pieces. First up “The Parting Place” by Sarah Lianne Lewis and Sohpia Chapadjiev, next will be “I just wanna be (in Center Parcs)” by Joanna Taylor and Kerry Priest, Anna Braithwaite and Kerry Priest’s “The Hardest Journey,” and finally Victoria Bernarth and Teresa Howard’s comic opera “Mini Break.”

“Lost and Found’s” composer and librettist teams and singers are all part of the Jette Parker Young Artist Program. The singers to be featured are April Koyejo-Audiger, Thando Mjandana, Chuma Sijeqa, Blaise Malaba, Egor Zhuravskii, Siân Dicker, Milly Forrest, Njabulo Madlala, Sam Marston, Zahid Siddiqui, and Jamie Woollard. They are joined by players from Casco Phil.

Angelique MacDonald, the Producer for the Jette Parker Young Artists said in a press release, “It has been a privilege to read the personal stories that were shared with us for this project, and watch them inspire seven new works in different styles and approaches. Opera is an innately human artform and it’s hugely exciting to be able to perform such relatable work with Casco Phil at St. Pancras International.”
