The Immortal Hour is a play written in 1899 by Fiona Macleod. A few years later the composer Rutland Boughton composed an opera of based the play which premiered in 1914 at The Assembly Rooms of Glastonbury. Now the piece is reborn with all new music composed by Greg Dinunzi (The Blackbird) as a musical theater work with a small chamber ensemble. This new reimagining of The Immortal Hour and produced by The Modern Theatre of Myth, returned to the Assembly Rooms on March 16, 2025 to a sold out house.

The studio recording you see here is the complete work and features as a special guest R.J. Stewart as both musician and in the role of King Eochaidh. The musical ensemble consists of Classical Guitar, Vibraphone, Cello, Viola, Bass Clarinet, Armenian Duduk, Psaltery, and soundscapes created by nature and electronics. Both CD and and digital downloads are available.

This work can be thought of as a radio play or a guided musical meditation with music celebrating the magical text by Fiona Macleod. It is written to be listen through from beginning to end, like a film.

Below are videos of the project with the original cast in Glastonbury, a music video and a behind the scenes at a recording session:
