Venue: Wilton's Music Hall

Hot on the heels of a sensational run in New York, cabaret artist Justin Vivian Bond and acclaimed countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo are premiering their show Only An Octave Apart at Wilton’s Music Hall in London, from 28 September to 22 October 2022.
Only An Octave Apart is billed as a joyous and surprising musical fantasia, reveling in everything strange and beautiful in the coexistence of contrasts – from Purcell’s 17th century aria ‘Dido’s Lament’ to Dido’s early 2000s hit ‘White Flag’, from ‘Autumn Leaves’ to ‘The Waters of March’.
Co-created and directed by Zack Winokur, Only An Octave Apart has music supervision by Thomas Bartlett, arrangements by Nico Muhly, and costume design by Jonathan Anderson for LOEWE and JW Anderson. The musical director is Daniel Schlosberg, set designer Carlos Soto (Solange) and lighting designer John Torres (‘Hamlet’ directed by Yaël Farber).
Only an Octave Apart celebrates the historical and the hysterical, from countertenor to counterculture, and expresses their queer identities through unique interpretations of classical, pop, and hybrids of the two.
