On the one hand, calling this show a space opera is doing it a disservice, because that term conjures stories like Buck Rogers or Star Wars, but on the other hand, this is exactly what it is. Like an opera, it is high class, epic and emotional. It is almost Shakespearean (but don’t let that put you off). The ethereal music, the excellent sound design, the brilliant performances all make this an outstanding immersive experience, the kind that can not be matched by a book or a film.
