Seven mini operas will be performed at London\u2019s St Pancras Station by singers from the Royal Opera House on International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

The series of newly commissioned micro-operas have been created by female composers and librettists, following an open call from the Royal Opera House\u2019s Jette Parker Young Artists Programme. Anecdotes were submitted to the company by the public, exploring the themes of train travel, time, motion, meetings and farewells.<\/p>\n

Artists from the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme will perform these new operas, accompanied by musicians from Belgium\u2019s Casco Phil chamber orchestra.<\/p>\n

The free public pop-up event, titled \u2018Lost and Found\u2019 will take place throughout the day at London\u2019s St Pancras Station, set against the backdrop of Paul Day\u2019s bronze sculpture \u2018The Meeting Place\u2019, close to where the Eurostar trains arrive and depart.<\/p>\n

The performances of these new operas will take place from 11am to 4pm on Tuesday 8 March. For more details, visit the Royal Opera House\u2019s website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
