On general sale Mon 6 Dec 10am
Guildhall School’s Opera department presents a double bill of operatic works exploring romantic love, fate and fortune.
Commissioned by Bregenz Festival and the Royal Opera House and premiered in 2011, Miss Fortune is a contemporary re-telling of a Sicilian folk story. Judith Weir’s opera is a story about Tina and how her life dramatically changes course overnight; it is a story about fate and fortune.
Written specifically for performance on American television in 1947, Gian Carlo Menotti’s opera The Telephone is a romantic comedy in one act, written for just two singers and a hand-picked chamber ensemble of instrumentalists.
Presented by Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
A recording of this production will be available to watch online for free after the performances. Watch online from 25 March.
