Come along to the premier of Ingerland at Millwall. A modern opera composed by London based Jocelyn Pook - originally inspired and made in collaboration with Millwall fans and featuring “No one likes us, we don’t care” which will be brought back to the Den on 7th April 2012

This is the second event of an ongoing collaboration between Millwall FC and Goldsmiths College ( MA Art and Politics students ). Jocelyn Pook was invited to re-record the opera specifically for this occasion and the recordings will be played before the match and at the half time.
Though it is called an opera, Ingerland is far from a traditional opera and follows on from the music she composed for films and theatres including Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York (2003). Songs include interviews with fans and the roar of the Dockers crowd making Ingerland a unique ‘opera’ which until 7th will have only ever been played in Royal Opera House; where it set to challenge the audiences' expectations of what might be considered operatic and theatrical.
And so in its return to its rightful home, Ingerland seeks to emulate the sense of solidarity produced by Millwall’s chants, and the rituals of football, and celebrate it at the best theatre in town, the MILLWALL STADIUM. This event coincides with Dave Sullivan’s current research into Millwall’s impressive musical history and Ingerland will consequently become part of this impressive archive.
