Tonight (5 December 2016) is the 14th edition of Second Movement's Rough for Opera at the Cockpit Theatre, London NW8 8EH, the scratch night were producers of new opera can try things out and get audience feed back. At tonight's event there will be new opera from Anna Clock, Freya Ireland and Martin Ward.
