About Tones - A Hip Hop Opera

A piece of gig theatre like no other, Tones – A Hip Hop Opera combines the gritty underground sounds of hip-hop, grime and drill with the melodrama of opera to tell the story of a treacherous path to self-discovery. From Black British Theatre award-winner Gerel Falconer (nominee, The Stage Debut Awards), Tones is a riveting exploration of the black and mixed experience.

Summerhall (Roundabout)

Thursday 1st – Sunday 25th August 2024 (not 6th, 13th, 20th), 18:50.
