Unit X Mise-en-Scene
6pm—9pm
A unique collaboration between the RNCM, Transport for Greater Manchester, Albino Mosquito and Manchester School of Art's Unit X initiative. Music from Berlioz, Vaughan Williams and Poulenc will be brought alive on the trams from St Peter's Square to Shudehill, and in the basement of Federation House. Students from the School of Art and the RNCM's Opera singers will transform the spaces to reflect the inspirations of the music and the city.
The Project for Unit X and Manchester After Hours is a precursor to the fully orchestrated performance in the RNCM concert hall on the 2nd July where MA and BA students from Manchester School of Art will re-imagine the works to create an interactive theatrical concert experience.
