New blog! Michael Field were ahead of their time in being behind the times in an age of industrialisation. Queer, esoteric, archaic… Decadent? Tom Floyd, Sophie Goldrick & Marion Thain tell us more in contextualising Shadow Opera’s Veritable Michael

@shadowopera's Veritable Michael is about to start, and quite the setting in King's College Chapel. A space worthy of Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper, no less...

The opera is inspired by Prof Marion Thain's research of the intriguing story of the two women who lived, loved and wrote as Michael Field.
