Expect no tabloid topics to be off limits in this evening of new songs about the news. Composers from the Royal Opera House's OperaGenesis VOX course present a sequence that takes the latest breaking stories and sets them to music in song, in a modern day counterpoint to Hanns Eisler's politically piquant songs and Dominic Muldowney's own short song cycle.
