lies most beautiful

What if the most tragic ghost story ever told was a lie? Lord Byron's Manfred is an epic musical saga across audio, visuals and stage that reimagines a gothic masterpiece. It tells the story of a brilliant, haunted sorcerer who defies the gates of Hell for his lost love. But in the abyss, he finds a devastating secret waiting for him—a truth far more alive, and far more terrifying, than any ghost. This is your invitation to a world of breathtaking scale, soaring music, and a love so powerful it remakes the world in its own solitary image.

Meanings whispered

In an era of fleeting spectacle, we believe a story can have the weight of stone, and a music can feel as vast as ancient myth. Lord Byron's Manfred is a testament of that belief; a ground-up reimagining of an immersive saga of magic, love, and consequence, delivered by exceptional performers and a cinematic orchestra. A cathedral of sound and story for those who still crave beautiful, unforgettable art.

^{INVOCATION
OF THE}
ALPINE STORM

The core of our adaptation is a bespoke original score, combing the power of a film score, the beauty of a musical, & the grandeur of an opera.
Listen for the restless Alpine strings, the percussion of a forgotten war, and voices weeping over the tundra.
Here, the fury and granite-forged tragedy of a single heart meet the sins of gods and men in a storm that might swallow the world...
