Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Song Queen: A Pidgin Opera, a groundbreaking production that unites music, culture and storytelling in a powerful celebration of diverse voices. Written and composed by the visionary Helen Epega (The Venus Bushfires), this unique opera blends Nigerian Pidgin English, Patois, Creole, Cockney, Hip-Hop Vernacular and Multicultural London Slang with Western Classical music, creating a truly multisensory experience.
Follow the heroine Kenate on a journey of love, betrayal and redemption through an Afrofuturistic lens. This 90-minute performance features a stellar cast, including Helen Epega (Composer, Librettist, Lead Vocalist, Hang Drum), Richard Ọlátúndé Baker (AfricanPercussion), Abdul William (Steel Pans), Francis Angol (Choreographer) and Baba Epega (Executive Producer), alongside Louisa Martin (Soprano), Francesca Bartolo (Mezzo), Jacob Cole (Tenor), Ted Day (Baritone) and Elliott Park (Piano).
After sold-out performances across London and a triumphant return to Wilton’s Music Hall, Song Queen: A Pidgin Opera continues to captivate and inspire. Hailed as “incredible” by LondonTheatre1, “fantastic” by Daniel Neale, BBC and an “eye-opening experience” by Maxim, The Prodigy, this opera celebrates African culture, pushing the boundaries of traditional opera with its innovative sound and storytelling.
Join us for this special anniversary run—a celebration of music, culture and the power of
creative expression. Song Queen: A Pidgin Opera is an enchanting experience that will
stay with you long after the final note.
