A Shetland Odyssey 

Stone head of Odysseus, against a background of yarns and ropes. http://www.hi-arts.co.uk/jun05_feature_shetland_odyssey.html

Via The Guardian: "Opera meets knitting in the latest project from Tête à Tête. The opera company has already met over 100 knitters and spinners in preparation for A Shetland Odyssey, its retelling of Odysseus's journey home from Troy, to be performed by six singers, seven musicians and five craftspeople in autumn 2006."

The production is explained in depth in a great article from the Highlands & Islands Arts Journal: Navigating New Waters. (Should I make it to a performance, I think it only fitting that I should knit myself some opera gloves to wear...)
