Pay the Piper

Glyndebourne Youth Opera

​

Sinéad was the original director for Pay the Piper, working with composers, writer and designer on creating the piece. Postponement due to Covid meant that Sinéad was unable to see the project to its conclusion, and it was directed by Stephen Langridge in February 2022.
