Chloë Allison answers questions on her doctoral research into medieval polyphony, which forms the basis of our latest performance project. Marginalia’s ‘In the Shadow of Notre Dame’ breathes life into the forgotten sound world of twelfth-century Paris and explores its vibrant and ambitious musical community in story and song.

Chloë Allison explains what inspired her to fuse theatre and opera in Marginalia’s ‘A rose by another name: Juliet & Romeo’. This newly devised piece for two singers and one actor irreverently combines Shakespeare’s timeless words with Bellini's intoxicating melodies.

Marginalia’s co-founder Chloë Allison explains her research on twelfth-century polyphony in Paris and shares a video of her recent lecture ‘Giving New Voice to a Forgotten Past’.

Marginalia enjoyed running a workshop for the year-nine singers at Cranleigh School.
