We are currently working on a new opera that brings to life the remarkable story of Annie Walker, a female astronomer working at the Cambridge Observatory between 1881 and 1903. The opera will explore her work, and life at the Observatory, showing how a woman who was passionate about science was able to find an education and make a career in astronomy, though ultimately falling victim to the gender inequalities of the time.
