The First Child

This item will be released February 13, 2026.

The First Child is a narrative that is much larger than the characters themselves. A work that reveals itself incrementally and cuts between the normal and the mythic. Passing through the strange minds of the central characters. Moving sharply from darkness to comedy. Shaped by obsession and an unstoppable quest for revenge.


Praise for INO on Signum Classics:

“This CD set is evidence of the company’s high quality” – Classical Music Daily

“An infinite amount of orchestral detail, vocal sprezzatura, and joie de vivre which all contribute in making “La Bohème” one of the best opera recordings of the past decade” – Opera Wire

“The recording is spectacular…We hear everything, and in beautiful perspective” – Classical Explorer

[1] An Opera. Beginning
[2] Ignored by time
[3] So, this is your first child, how exciting
[4] The woman I was yesterday has been changed
[5] Room
[6] I’m sheltering from the rain
[7] When you find the right person
[8] If bottles aren’t sterilised properly
[9] Does the light forget ever
[10] Karen checks out Simon on Instagram
[11] I saw you in the yard this morning
[12] Only last week I was saying to the boys
[13] Could the moon decide to leave me there
[14] And you said
[15] Dance
[16] Do you live around here
[17] From this day a line is drawn
[18] Well over our weekly consumption of alcohol
[19] From where I’m standing
[20] Will you see him again
[21] In their bed within their room
[22] Could the moon have decided
[23] The story is beginning again…
