In The Penal Colony Tickets

In The Penal Colony is a dynamic performer project inspired by the innovative work of composer Philip Glass. This one-act chamber work translates Kafka’s In der Strafkolonie into a powerful theatrical experience, featuring a string quintet, two vocal soloists (tenor and bass-baritone), and two spoken roles. Premiered in Seattle in 2000 and developed through collaborations with major opera and theatre entities, the piece has left a lasting imprint on contemporary opera and chamber theatre. Below you’ll find a detailed biography, discography highlights, and upcoming tour information to help you secure your seats with confidence.

Key moments in In The Penal Colony’s history include the 2000 premiere at A Contemporary Theatre (ACT) in Seattle, the 2010 UK premiere at the Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House as part of Music Theatre Wales activities, and the 2011 world premiere recording released by Orange Mountain Music. Notable later productions include the 2018 Days and Nights Festival collaboration with Opera Parallège in Golden Bough/Carmel and the 2024 Munich presentation by Opera Incognita.
