As the frontman of Blur and Gorillaz, Damon Albarn rarely seems to rest when it comes to creating music. As previously reported , he recently teamed up with theatre director Rufus Norris to create an opera about the medical advisor to Queen Elizabeth I back in the 16th century. Now he's given us a glimpse of what we can expect from that project.

Albarn stopped by the Andrew Marr Show on BBC One to perform one of his compositions for the Dr Dee opera, titled "Apple Carts." You can watch the acoustic performance below.

Dr Dee debuts at the Manchester International Festival next month.
