Four people – each of whom has battled with cancer, one still living with a terminal diagnosis - experience the transformative power of self-expression as they create an opera based on their personal stories.
This therapeutic process is a world first, and is documented as it unfolds under the guidance of talented music therapist Emma O’Brien (from the Royal Melbourne Hospital) and the creative team of a respected opera company.
