Uprooted

29 July 2025

Uprooted shines a spotlight on one of the most troubling UK social issues of our generation, the housing crisis and its effect on children. Commissioned by Garsington Opera, composer Hannah Conway and librettist Hazel Gould have worked in close collaboration with Bee Squad – a community organisation in Manchester whose mission is to improve the quality of life of children affected by homelessness. The opera is directly influenced by the true stories of some of the children who Bee Squad have worked, as well as examples of homelessness in Buckinghamshire
