ENGLISH TOURING OPERA
...present a season of kings and queens in the battle for love, loyalty and power with each opera featuring a large chorus and live orchestra.
MONDAY 25 MARCH 7.30PM MACBETH
Follow Verdi's MACBETH in a blood-soaked journey to the throne and watch a guilt-ridden Lady Macbeth descend into the depths of despair in English Touring Opera’s new production. Starring Grant Doyle (Macbeth) and Madeleine Pierard (Lady Macbeth) in Verdi’s interpretation of Shakespeare’s iconic play. Sung in English with English surtitles.
TUESDAY 26 MARCH 7.30PM IDOMENEO
Returning from the Trojan War and caught in the midst of a storm, King Idomeneo promises the raging seas that he will sacrifice the first person he meets, in return for his safe passage. Cruelly, the first person he encounters is his only son, Idamante. The rivalry between the princesses Ilia and Elettra for the heart of Idamante, coupled with a king’s ill-fated promise provide a rich, emotional drama and unforgettable music.
Mozart’s IDOMENEO remains one the greatest of his ‘opera seria' (serious operas). This is an opera that explores royalty, high ideals and deep emotions.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
