Goodman wrote the opera as his final graduation piece for his studies at Huddersfield University.[1] The work was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2010 by North of England Concert Theatre, an interdisciplinary music-theatre company based in Huddersfield, UK. The opera has no plot[1] but focuses on issues of masculine sexual identity and human loss.[2] It is orchestrated for soprano, saxophone, piano, percussion, cello and double bass.
