Director Sinéad O'Neill, Composer Matt Rogers, Librettist Sally O'Reilly, Designer Kitty Callister and Lighting Designer Jelmer Tuinstra created And London Burned at the Temple Church, October 2016.
The Great Fire, which destroyed most of the City, effectively ended on the roof of the Inner Temple Hall, where the last flames were beaten out under the direction of Inner Temple’s Royal Bencher, James, Duke of York. He and his men also saved the Temple Church.
At Inner Temple’s suggestion, the Temple Music Foundation commissioned a new opera to mark these extraordinary events with three performances in the Temple Church.
