Last week we brought you the exciting news about composer Paul Corfield Godfrey’s multi-part, operatic telling of the central stories from Tolkien’s First Age<\/a>. Four of the five parts are available now: you can purchase F\u00ebanor<\/em>, Beren and L\u00fathien<\/em>, The Children of H\u00farin<\/em> and The Fall of Gondolin<\/em> directly from Volante Opera Productions<\/a>, with the fifth and final part, The War of Wrath<\/em>, expected soon in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staffer greendragon recently had the pleasure of sitting down with composer Paul Corfield Godfrey<\/a> and tenor Simon Crosby Buttle to find out more about these epic works, which are finally being made available for us all to enjoy. It’s been a suitably (in a Tolkien-esque sort of way!) long quest, which has included copious correspondence between Godfrey and folks such as Rayner Unwin and Christopher Tolkien – and has even featured an appearance by one of the Tolkien family in a performance!
