Victor is a numerically challenged man unable to see numbers as anything more than overdue rent or an unsuccessful betting slip.  It is up to the ethereal Polymaths to enlighten him about how mathematical relationships are fundamental to music, movement and life itself.

This new participatory chamber opera for children from years 5 and 6 explores mathematical relationships through song, music and movement.  The piece draws on many musical devices including an oversized Monochord - an instrument for demonstrating musical ratios as used by Pythagoras himself.

The piece was written especially for The Singing Club and they gave the first performance in April this year at the Wales Millennium Centre. For further details contact WNO MAX on 029 2063 5060.
