  Radio 3 Hear and Now – Sunken Garden
  Sunken Garden, the latest stage-work by Dutch composer Michel van der Aa, sets a libretto by prize-winning novelist David Mitchell about a film-maker whose search for two missing persons leads him to a liminal place between life and death. Mixing live performance with pre-recorded film and holograms, it has been described by its creators as an 'occult mystery film-opera'.
  
  Tom Service introduces a performance from the world-premiere run, given in April by English National Opera at the Barbican Theatre in London.
