Abstract
Lost in Thought is the world’s first ‘mindfulness opera’ by Rolf Hind (music/concept) and directed by Frederic Wake-Walker. Based on the classic structure of an extended meditation, it explores the points of contact between sound and silence in music and meditation.
Specially designed for an intimate audience, the boundaries between performer and audience blur as mezzo-soprano Lore Lixenberg and seven musicians accompany you on an inner journey of mindfulness, with periods of meditation, rest, communal eating, and a gentle yoga session.
An immersive four-hour performance, Lost in Thought combines music and meditation, bringing a new intensity to every sensation – an inner-drama of mindfulness.
Lost in Thought premiered at LSO St Luke’s on 25 September 2015 as part of the Barbican’s Transcender series.
