His operatic achievements feature adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado and The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Witches Seed, which premiered in Italy in 2022 and returned for three new productions in 2024.
In 2025, Copeland launches Wild Concerto in collaboration with Martyn Stewart and Platoon (Apple Inc.), premiering on Earth Day at King’s Place, London. He will also debut a percussion commission with The Juilliard School in New York and at the Aspen Festival.
A renowned composer for film and television, his scores include Rumble Fish (Golden Globe-nominated), Wall Street, Four Days in September (Oscar-nominated), and contributions to The Equalizer, Babylon 5, Desperate Housewives, and the video game Spyro the Dragon.
