‘The Rake’s Progress’ is Igor Stravinsky’s opera composition from 1951 based on a series of eight engravings by the painter William Hogarth.
Illustrating the gradual decline of an innocent young heir who squanders his fortune and winds up in an asylum, the action is set in the 1950s where protagonist Tom Rakewell sets off for London after he receives a providential inheritance. He leaves his fiancée Anne Trulove behind and takes on the mysterious news-bearer Nick Shadow as a servant.
Ruined and disillusioned by the end of his journey, Tom ends up betting his soul at cards with his servant, who reveals himself as the Devil. Anne, as the ever-faithful fiancée managed to rescue Tom from the clutches of doom, but not before the latter sinks into madness and oblivion.

"Are you sure
That we are awake?
It seems to me
That yet we sleep, we dream"

Join New Opera Singapore this August on an intriguing and fantastical journey, and perhaps you'll realise Life is but a Dream!
Would you die for your faith?
Standing before the guillotine, eyes blinded by stare of the merciless sun, ears deafened by the cries of the crowd. They scream for your death. Your death. You take another step. Your breath, cold against the hot summer air, is quick and ragged. Fear creeps down your spine as your sisters are silenced right in front of your eyes, one by one. Their song ended abruptly by the sharp kiss of metal on flesh. Their life poured to the ground like a dark velvet river. To surrender blood and tears for something you believe in.
Could you die for your faith?
You lean forward. The collar fits like a lover's soft fingers around your neck. A breath. The soft whisper of the blade as rushes to you.
Silence.

Who truly rules over the lives of Man?
Is it Fortune? Her hands upon the rolling of every dice, her breath overruling the fiercest battles with chance.
Or is it Virtue? In her strictest confidence, each of her rules guiding behavior, poise and belief.
Oh, to be pure, to be true.
Perhaps Love? Which is said to conquer all and break all bonds and make its own rules.
Join New Opera Singapore as we present to you a tale emblazoned with lust, power and most of all, love.
Come and discover what truly rules your heart.

Scandal. Adultery. Decadence. Hardly what you would expect from the story of one of mythology's most famous couples, Orpheus and Euridice, or at least, that's what Public Opinion would like everyone to think. But what happens when the real story of a husband and wife, trapped in a loveless marriage, surrounded by the wild pleasures of the world gets out, against the better judgment of morality? Well, a riotous operetta of epic proportions of course! Jacques Offenbach's most famous work is given a contemporary twist in New Opera Singapore's brand new production featuring a stellar cast under the direction of Stefanos Rassios.
