2009: Welcome to Opera Project's
Sixteenth Season
Opera Project is a professional touring company presenting fully staged performances of opera accompanied by chamber orchestra. Now entering its sixteenth season, Opera Project has established an enviable reputation as one of the UK’s leading touring opera companies with performances across a range of festivals and theatres and in a number of the country’s finest gardens.
2009 includes a typically eclectic mix of repertoire from across four centuries. First off is Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, a new production which opens at the Salisbury Festival and continues to tour throughout the summer. In July the company moves to Longborough Festival Opera for whom it stages an ambitious new production of Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The season continues with a visit to the West Green House Music Season where Opera Project presents a specially commissioned early English double-bill of Frederick Lampe’s Pyramus and Thisbe coupled with Purcell’s masterpiece Dido and Aeneas, featuring the Australian soprano Yvonne Kenny in the title role. Finally, in October, the company returns to The Tobacco Factory in Bristol where it will stage a run of eight performances of Verdi’s Rigoletto.
