For Nyman, Dr P 'requires music as a lifeline, cue, clue, cure', living as he does in a world lacking visual meaning. It is through his musical gifts that Dr P reclaims meaning from chaos, Nyman's tautly conceived masterpiece providing a perfect medium through which the moving drama can be explored. Dean Williamson has a versatile career in standard and contemporary repertoire, and is earning worldwide acclaim for his perceptive and commanding conducting. He currently serves as Music Director of Nashville Opera where select conducting credits include Hydrogen Jukebox, Florencia en el Amazonas, The Difficulty of Crossing a Field, and Michael Nyman's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.
