| Peacock Theatre, London, London WC2A 2HT, United Kingdom Saturday 4-Sep-10 06:30pm 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. | ||

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Saturday 4-Sep-10 07:15pm Bliss (Dean, Brett (b. 1961)) (also written by Amanda Holden, European Premiere) Please note this production contains coarse language and adult themes. It is not recommended for children.‘Harry Joy was to die three times, but it was his first death which was to have the greatest effect on him…’ Peter Carey’s sardonic novel Bliss charts the escapades and misadventures of Harry Joy, an advertising executive who, having survived a near-death experience, gets sucked into a Kafkaesque routine of increasing bizarreness. Is he really in hell? In a place where his wife is constantly unfaithful, his son is a drug dealer and his daughter offers sexual favours to pay for her narcotic needs? Bliss is a much-anticipated new operatic collaboration with all the ingredients for excitement: a score by Brett Dean, surely one of the most innovative composers working today; an enthralling libretto by Amanda Holden; the directorial wit and sparkle of Neil Armfield; the virtuosity of Elgar Howarth and the BBC Symphony Orchestra; and the electrifying stage presence of Peter Coleman-Wright. This opera is based on Peter Carey’s remarkable novel. Bliss (the novel): ‘dazzling comic flair... quirky, irresistible’ Time Out ‘funny, humane and at times profound’ Literary Review Tickets from £14 Supported by Edinburgh International Festival Friends and Patrons Supported by the Victorian Government through Arts Victoria BBC Symphony Orchestra Peter Coleman-Wright, Baritone: Harry Joy Merlyn Quaife, Soprano: Betty Lorina Gore, Soprano: Honey B Barry Ryan, Baritone: Alex David Corcoran, Tenor: David Taryn Fiebig, Soprano: Lucy Kanen Breen, Tenor: Johnny Elgar Howarth, Director Neil Armfield, Director Kate Champion, Choreography Brian Thomson, Set Designer Alice Babidge, Costume Designer Nigel Levings, Lighting Designer | ||

| Aros Centre, Portree, Highland, Portree IV51, United Kingdom Monday 6-Sep-10 07:30pm Beautiful gypsies, obsession, intense emotion and some of the liveliest rhythms in opera…it can only be Carmen. This new production is set in 1960s Spain, a country firmly entrenched in General Franco’s right-wing regime. Women are oppressed, the gypsies ghettoised, the country is riddled with poverty, and black-market smuggling is rife. As a woman wanting to break free, the stakes are high for someone like Carmen. An outspoken gypsy with a beautiful face and a fiery temper, she sets her sights on the soldier Don José. His desire leads him to deny his friends and position and he is soon living the life of a smuggler in the desolate mountains of Spain. As his relationship with Carmen disintegrates and she leaves him for another, he sets out to prove his love, but Carmen has seen the future in her tarot cards and it isn’t a happy one. Bizet’s boldly seductive opera has been one of the world’s favourite operas for over a century. From the sultry ‘Habanera’ to the naively passionate ‘Flower Song’ and the rousing ‘Toreador’s Song’, Bizet’s ever-popular music brings out the earthy vitality of his characters. Ashley Dean, director of 2009’s Opera Highlights tour directs a fine ensemble cast. Rebecca Afonwy-Jones, Mezzo-soprano: Carmen Annie Gill, Mezzo-soprano: Carmen Robyn Lyn Evans, Tenor: Don José Nicholas Ransley, Tenor: Don José Michael de Souza, Baritone: Escamillo Francis Church, Baritone: Le Dancaïre Patrick Ashcroft, Tenor: Le Remendado Francisco Javier Borda, Bass: Zuniga Robert Tucker, Baritone: Moralès Claire Watkins, Soprano: Micaela Caroline Macphie, Soprano: Frasquita Katherine Allen, Mezzo-soprano: Mercédès Derek Clark, Conductor Susannah Wapshott, Piano Ashley Dean, Director/Director | ||

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.

| Hamilton Town House, 102 Cadzow Street, Hamilton ML3 6HH, United Kingdom Thursday 16-Sep-10 07:30pm Beautiful gypsies, obsession, intense emotion and some of the liveliest rhythms in opera…it can only be Carmen. This new production is set in 1960s Spain, a country firmly entrenched in General Franco’s right-wing regime. Women are oppressed, the gypsies ghettoised, the country is riddled with poverty, and black-market smuggling is rife. As a woman wanting to break free, the stakes are high for someone like Carmen. An outspoken gypsy with a beautiful face and a fiery temper, she sets her sights on the soldier Don José. His desire leads him to deny his friends and position and he is soon living the life of a smuggler in the desolate mountains of Spain. As his relationship with Carmen disintegrates and she leaves him for another, he sets out to prove his love, but Carmen has seen the future in her tarot cards and it isn’t a happy one. Bizet’s boldly seductive opera has been one of the world’s favourite operas for over a century. From the sultry ‘Habanera’ to the naively passionate ‘Flower Song’ and the rousing ‘Toreador’s Song’, Bizet’s ever-popular music brings out the earthy vitality of his characters. Ashley Dean, director of 2009’s Opera Highlights tour directs a fine ensemble cast.

| The London Coliseum, London, United Kingdom Monday 20-Sep-10 07:30pm The Makropulos Case Amanda Roocroft's heartbreaking performance as the heroine in David Alden's 2006 staging of Janáček's Jenůfa won her the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera. Now she returns to ENO in the first revival of Christopher Alden's Olivier Award-nominated staging of the Czech composer's penultimate opera to star as the enigmatic Emilia Marty, the cold-hearted diva whose uncanny knowledge of past events provides the key to resolving a 100-year-old lawsuit but also unlocks ancient mysteries that call into question mankind's obsessive quest for eternal life. A co-production with the National Theatre in Prague, this striking steel-and-glass Art Deco staging is conducted by one of Britain's great conducting talents, and Janacek champion, Sir Richard Armstrong.

| Redgrave Theatre, Bristol, Percival Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 3LE, United Kingdom Wednesday 22-Sep-10 07:30pm September 22nd sees the premiere in Bristol of a thought-provoking new opera, based on the true story of three young British soldiers trapped behind enemy lines on the Franco-Belgian border in the early days of the First World War. The opera was written by the BBC South and West’s former Senior Music Producer, Eric Wetherell. Now retired, Eric has composed, arranged and orchestrated music throughout his professional life. The producer of A Foreign Field is John Telfer who trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and has appeared in many plays with the Bristol Old Vic company. A Foreign Field concerns three young British soldiers trapped behind enemy lines on the Franco-Belgian border in the early days of the First World War. They are taken in by French villagers and absorbed into country life, working in the fields. One of them, Robert Digby, falls in love with a village girl who becomes pregnant. Petty jealousies spring up and the men are betrayed. They escape and hide in nearby countryside. The German administrator demands that they give themselves up to be prisoners of war, adding that, if they don’t, there will be reprisals against the village. Tickets are £15 ( concessions £12 ) | ||
