Siren Song, by the British composer Jonathan Dove, is a chamber opera about the longing for love and the susceptibility to deception. Based on a bizarre, true story about a young sailor who exchanges letters with a beautiful and successful model whom he has never met, and with whom he becomes infatuated, Siren Song is a story about the power of the imagination, and how we invent the people we love. Jonathan Dove writes, “When I first came across the true story which inspired Siren Song, I knew it had to become an opera.”
