La Bohème (Puccini, Giacomo (1858-1924))  

From 4-11 September British Youth Opera (BYO) offers the chance to hear the next generation of opera singers in new productions of La bohème and Euridice at Sadler’s Wells’ Peacock Theatre.

Each year BYO auditions the best students and recent graduates from the country’s music colleges and selects over 60 of them to take part in its intensive Summer Season. After nearly two months of coaching and rehearsals, the singers take to the stage for a week of performances, when audiences (and casting agents) will be on the look out for the opera stars of the future.

Led by a creative team whose operatic credits include English National Opera, the Royal Opera House, New York’s Metropolitan Opera and the Salzburg Festival this year’s productions of La bohème and Euridice provide the perfect vehicles for BYO’s young singers.

Puccini’s La bohème is probably the most romantic of all operas and BYO’s production is sure to capture the youthful passion and energy of the young Bohemians at the opera’s heart.

BYO singers this year include John Pierce (as Rodolfo, La bohème) who will represent Wales in next year’s Cardiff Singer of the World Competition. Past BYO singers have gone on to win international prizes and sing leading roles in opera houses worldwide, from Covent Garden and Glyndebourne to Bayreuth Festival and the Sydney Opera House – this is truly a chance to hear opera’s next generation!

Tickets £10 - £36

Opening night VIP tickets available priced £95, including interval drinks and post-show buffet reception with the cast.

Euridice takes the translucent vocal lines of the first ever opera composer, Jacopo Peri, and weaves them into an atmospheric score by Stephen Oliver, one of Britain’s most prolific composers of music for stage and screen. This semi-staged production marks the 60th anniversary of Oliver’s birth (he died in 1992, aged 42) and is performed by a cast of eighteen singers and an onstage ensemble of eight players, creating a remarkable piece of music theatre.
