Ophelia of the Spirits

Ophelia of the Spirits is a creature of the earth and of the air. More than a person, she is an outer reflection of our inner life, a portal to a Jungian universe of magic and mystery where, in the tradition of artists like writer Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) and filmmakers such as Fellini and Jean Cocteau, the surreal environment serves to question what is real and what is imagined, and ultimately to highlight the truths revealed when we turn inward to confront our own struggles and triumphs, and those of all humanity. 

She was created by film composer, songwriter and singer Angela Little to blend Angela’s fascination with music for film and theatre with her songwriting and performing, exploring the dark magic of a human life through a mystical journey of sound and vision. She takes her name from the character Ophelia in Shakespeare’s play Hamlet and Federico Fellini’s 1965 film Giulietta degli Spiriti (Juliet of the Spirits).  After independently releasing her self-titled debut EP and headlining shows in the live venues of Sydney and Melbourne, performing at The Basement, The Vanguard and Manchester Lane, she spent the greater part of 2008 working with Baz Luhrmann on his latest film “Australia” (she composed Additional Music for the film, as well as co-writing and performing the film’s love song “By The Boab Tree” as well as an epic version of “Waltzing Matilda”). Her EP was re-released on December 6th 2008 through MGM Distribution and The Litle Label and became available at retail outlets for the first time. In 2009, she has co-composed the music and been Featured Vocalist on a new Australian feature film, “The Clinic” set for release later this year. Angela is now looking forward to releasing her next Ophelia of the Spirits offering, mini-album “The Secret Garden”, which will be launched at The Vanguard in Sydney on the 27th of August.
