The Water Diviner's Tale

The Water Diviner's Tale

Prom 57: Monday 27 August at 3pm

This year the BBC commissioned The Water Diviner's Tale, a dramatic musical piece for all ages, from Oscar-winning composer Rachel Portman, whose first opera The Little Prince was such a success on BBC television.

For her new piece she worked with the award-winning poet and playwright Owen Sheers to create a drama that draws on global myths and legends about water - from ice and storms to flood and drought - as well as on current stories, to reflect on climate change and the way it affects and concerns young people.
