A brand new opera about corruption in football, commissioned by Sky Arts to coincide with the 2022 World Cup.
Two childhood friends, now footballing icons, join forces to front their nation’s bid to host a World Cup tournament. They encounter a nefarious world of bribery and corruption, overseen by the game’s charismatic and all-powerful president. Enlisting support from the gods of the game, they set out to restore football to its rightful owners – the players and the fans.
With the power and precision of a David Beckham free kick, The Gods of the Game is a glorious celebration and a bitter condemnation of the world’s most popular sport.
Various dates and times from 6 Oct – 16 Oct
Tickets – TBC
