The English composer Jonathan Dove is known for his operas, of which he has composed 16. This outstanding release contains a dramatic cantata, along with four orchestral works. One of these, a suite entitled Airport Scenes, is taken from his best-known opera Flight (1997 – also produced at the 2006 Adelaide Festival). The opera is built around the true story of a stateless man trapped in the Paris airport, and his interactions with various travellers passing through.
