Koanga National Opera House - 8pm 21 October,
24 October, 27 October, 30 October
Inspired by the African American songs Delius heard as
a young man working on an orange plantation, Koanga
is a powerfully atmospheric opera about a proud African
prince, sold into slavery in Louisiana, who falls in love with
a mixed-race maid, with tragic consequences.
Guglielmo Ratcliff National Opera House - 8pm 22 October,
28 October, 31 October, 5pm - 25 October
Jealousy is the green-eyed monster that wreaks havoc in
Mascagni’s blood-soaked opera in which a young Scot,
spurned by the object of his affections, challenges anyone
who woos her to a duel. Enriched by the kind of orchestral
writing and full-blooded melodies that made Cavalleria
Rusticana such a popular success, Guglielmo Ratcliff is the
work of a master in full flow.
Le Pré aux clercs National Opera House - 8pm 23 October,
26 October, 29 October, 5pm - 1 November
A co-production with Opéra Comique Paris, based on a
novel by Prosper Mérimée, Hérold’s opera comique was a
runaway success in the wake of its triumphant premiere.
Set during the French Wars of Religion, Le Pré aux clercs
is a touching romance in which a young countess rebels
against the suitor chosen for her by the King of France and
hatches a daring plot to escape with her lover to Navarre.
