Our 2026 season will be capped off with the Singapore premiere of Considering Matthew Shepard, a fusion oratorio by Craig Hella Johnson, involving theatre, literary arts, opera, pop, jazz, country and choral elements.

The work is an astounding, transformative exploration of universal themes — of mutual respect, grief management, anti-violence, social justice and the restorative power of community. It finds its methods of expression in deep feeling, at once moving and galvanising. It’s everything we find we believe in time and again: the power of music and language combined and concentrated, enough to fill the expanse of a night sky. 

This collaboration sees the inaugural collaboration between two young Singaporean leaders in the local Music (Choral) and Theatre disciplines, Choy Siew Woon (Artistic Director, Conductor) and Seong Hui Xuan (Stage Director).
