A new chamber opera commissioned by Operactive Arts. The new tech infused project is ever evolving, putting at the heart very relevant question to all in a traditional opera framework - will Artificial Intelligence forgive? 

Inspired by the 19th-century Japanese ghost tale Yotsuya Kaidan, Yūrei catapults the haunting spirits into the futuristic world of  2100 A.D., where love, betrayal, digital twins and AI-driven immortality take centre stage.

Premiere: Friday 7th March 2025 at Reid Concert Hall, Edinburgh.

Friday 4th June 2025, Lund University, Sweden.

Tuesday 21st October 2025, Skissernas Museum, Sweden.
