A ghost family that finds no rest. A 14-year-old Goth girl who finds the afterlife is nothing to write home about—wherever home is for the lost and the dead.
Based on poems by Felix CHEONG, Eve and the Lost Ghost Family is a Gothic tale about the hereafter, set to music by award-winning composer TAN Yuting (CSS Student Member). Sung by renowned soprano Christina THÉ and accompanied by harpist Charity KIEW, these are art songs as you’ve never heard it before—ethereal, dark and deadpan funny.
