APGRD Notes
A new opera inspired by Homer's Odyssey, commissioned in 2006 by the Welsh National Opera. Written following workshops in two local schools: Palmerston, a mainstream school in a deprived area of Barry that has several pupils who use wheelchairs, and Ysgol Erw’r Delyn in Penarth for children with profound disabilities. Performances were filmed at Wales Millennium Centre in the first week of January 2008; the film then premiered in the schools in May 2008, with a public performance again taking place at the Wales Millennium Centre in June 2008.
