I am delighted to report that following the fantastic reception of Eve Harrison’s opera Hera’s List in Manchester last November, the company have been invited to perform at the prestigious Tête à Tête: the Opera Festival in London. The opera will be performed in the largest theatre space at Riverside Studios on 2nd and 3rd August 2012.
I am very excited to be returning to the production as conductor and working alongside the fantastic cast and ensemble, of York-based young singers and RNCM alumni respectively. Do take a look at Eve’s website for background information on the project and updates on our progress.
HERA’S LIST
Music and words by Eve Harrison
“Mortal and mythological worlds collide; Hera’s List explores a dejected man’s struggle for independence, despite chaotic interference from Greek Goddess Hera with her whimsical list of goddesses.
A witty and fast-paced libretto and a mischievous and vibrant musical score combine to tell a compelling and pertinent story of love, jealousy and control.”
