Everyone wants the chance to excel in a job they feel proud of – valued by management, respected by peers, rewarded with a generous pay packet.
Everyone joining the team at Virtual Veracity Call Centre is hungry for success. A few of them have stayed a little too long. That's when bad things start to happen.
Virtual Veracity is not all it seems. Team Leader Maisy Day is too wrapped up in her Average Talk Time statistics to see what's going on under her nose. Is she going to get it in the neck?
The Calling of Maisy Day is a darkly comic new opera performed by 50 talented young singers with a lively ten-piece band. Award-winning composer Brian Irvine's music bustles with rhythm and high spirits – psycho-melodic office gothic that will chill you to the spine.
Welsh National Youth Opera's previous performances at Wales Millennium Centre (The Tailor's Daughter, Candide and The Rake's Progress) have sold out fast – so call to reserve your seats as soon as you can – 08700 40 2000.

“A perfect performance? As near as damn it, and no allowances need to be made for the young cast. Quite simply, they delivered. Thank you, WNYO: this for me was one of the musical highlights of last year” OPERA MAGAZINE on Candide
