Another intriguing event is a staging of Mozart's Requiem being performed in association with Phoenix Dance Theatre. Garry Walker conducts with choreography by Dane Hursts. Revivals during the year include two productions which made a splash when new and certainly repay a visit. Alessandro Talevi's production of Verdi's La traviata returns with Anna Denisova, Nico Darmanin / Oliver Johnston, Stephen Gadd / Damiano Salerno, conducted by Jonathan Webb / Manoj Kamps. Edward Dick's production of Puccini's Tosca returns with Giselle Allen in the title role, plus Robert Hayward as Scarpia (both returning to the roles), conducted by Joana Carneiro (making her Opera North debut). David Pountney's classic production of Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen returns with Garry Walker conducting and Elin Pritchard in the title role. The company's Young Performers programme is now housed within the […]

[…] see the video] makes her company debut with a cast including an array of strong women, Charlotte Badham, Kitty Whately, Harriet Eyley, Elizabeth Karani and Lucy Schaufer, plus Harry Thatcher and Benson Wilson. The double bill of two Verismo shockers will intrigue, pairing Delius' rarely performed Margot le Rouge with Puccini's Le Villi. Martin Lloyd Evans directs and Francesco Cillufo directs with strong casts including Anne Sophie Duprels (as both heroines), Samuel Sakker, Peter Auty, Stephen Gadd, Paul Carey Jones, plus Laura Woods, George von Bergen and Laura Lolita Perešivana. The final production is another co-production with Charles Court Opera. Having starred in English National Opera's recent production of Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore, John Savournin returns to the role of Captain Corcoran but this time he directs too! With a cast including Richard Burkhard and Peter Kirk. A lovely feature of last year was the mix of concerts as well as […]
