Laura Attridge

Writer-Director Laura Attridge is fast becoming known for the richness and clarity of her storytelling. Her work, both in process and in product, seeks to interrogate the cultural and societal narratives we take for granted, and to create space for transformation. 

Laura has been involved in projects with many of the UK’s leading opera and classical music organisations, including the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne, Scottish Opera, Opera North, English Touring Opera, Buxton International Festival and Mahogany Opera. She is a published poet, and her songs, choral works and libretti have been performed internationally. 

Recent engagements: Director/Scriptwriter, L’Olimpiade (Vache Baroque); Revival Director, La Traviata (Glyndebourne); Associate Director, Carmen (Glyndebourne); Director/Scriptwriter, Opera Highlights (Scottish Opera); Director/Librettist Catriona and the Dragon (Lammermuir Festival)
