At the height of the pandemic when vulnerable members of society were shielding, a community of the UK's most isolated and vulnerable people came together online to create an opera about love after stroke.

In March 2020, the choirs fell silent, just as Norwich's multi award-winning Voice Project had planned to start rehearsing a new show. Arc of the Sky takes its inspiration from Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh and the landscape it sits in, the Blyth estuary and the nearby coastline. The 130 strong choir planned to present the work, exploring themes of flight, perspective, scale, solitude and connection, in the 15th century 'Cathedral of the Marshes', in July.

In a time of global isolation, a community of the UK's most isolated and vulnerable people are overcoming barriers to join together online to create an opera about love after stroke.

Norwich's multi award-winning Voice Project Choir are presenting two very special summer performances in the spectacular grounds and gardens of Houghton Hall near Kings Lynn on Saturday 6 July at 5.30pm and 8pm.

Birth; marriage; death. And everything in between. As day breaks on another ordinary day, the townsfolk of Grover's Corners go about their business: newspapers are delivered; people go to work; gardens are tended to. And a boy and girl fall in love. But as life's events unfold and a community comes together, one question remains: 'do any human beings ever realise life as they live it? Every, every minute?'
