Opera Australia |

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Friday 3-Sep-10 07:30pm The Pirates of Penzance Some pirates sail the Caribbean. Some search for buried treasure. Some do all kinds of terrible deeds, but not these ones. Prepare to meet the soppiest, silliest set of pirates that ever were, led by a Pirate King who loves to sing. The inimitable Anthony Warlow dons his cutlass for another voyage as The Pirates of Penzance sails back into town. Gilbert and Sullivan's fifth collaboration has long been high on the list of all-time favourites, but no one could have predicted the runaway success of this production, directed by Stuart Maunder and designed by Roger Kirk. A foot-stomping, wisecracking, feel-good show, it has played to packed houses around the country and beyond and now returns, complete with its crazy cartoons, swashbuckling heroes and dainty heroines, to the place it all began. | ||

| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Friday 3-Sep-10 07:30pm Prom 65 In the first of his two Proms with the Berlin Philharmonic, Sir Simon Rattle couples Beethoven’s punchy Fourth Symphony – a work packed with drama beneath its sunny surfaces – with Mahler’s First, which recalls the youthful song-cycle heard in Prom 62 while tracing a characteristic Mahlerian scenario of hard-fought triumph over personal doubts and demons. | ||

Peacock Theatre, London La bohème |
British Youth Opera |
| More info... | ||
| 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. | ||

|
| ||
| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 4-Sep-10 07:30pm Prom 66 In the first half of their second Prom, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic pair late works by two of Germany’s greatest late-Romantics – ‘Richard the First’ and ‘Richard the Third’, as the conductor Hans von Bülow rather wickedly called them (quipping that, after Wagner, there could be no ‘Richard the Second’). After the interval come sensational sonic adventures by the three great musical pioneers of early-20th-century Vienna. Celebrated Finnish soprano Karita Mattila returns to the Proms as soloist in Strauss’s opulently nostalgic reflections on life’s last days. | ||

| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Sunday 5-Sep-10 02:30pm Prom 67 - Last Night of the Proms 1910 To open our daylong tribute to Proms founder-conductor HenryWood, we present his own Last Night programme from a century ago – so producing the first Proms season ever to feature two Last Nights. While this parade of short popular classics truly recalls Promenade concerts of another age, we also continue Wood’s commitment to new works – what Wood called his ‘novelties’. So one short cello piece from the original 1910 programme is this afternoon replaced by a brand-new work, based on a movement from the unfinished Cello Concerto by Vaughan Williams. Mussorgsky, Modest Petrovich (1839-1881), Rayok (The Peep Show) (orch. Henry Wood) Bizet, Georges (1838-1875), L’Arlésienne (excerpts) Matthews, David (b. 1943), Dark Pastoral – based on the surviving fragment of the slow movement of Vaughan Williams’s Cello Concerto (1942) (BBC commission: world première) Dvořák, Antonín (1841-1904), Humoresque in G flat major, Op. 101 No. 7 (orch.

| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Monday 6-Sep-10 07:00pm Prom 69 The Royal Scottish National Orchestra and its French-born Music Director, Stéphane Denève, join Paul Lewis as he rounds off his cycle of the five Beethoven piano concertos with the last and most proudly majestic of them all. Taking up this afternoon’s Italian theme, they play spectacular orchestral showpieces by Berlioz and Respighi, inspired respectively by Rome’s lively street life and its imperial past; while, cementing Celtic connections, they introduce a recent symphonic suite drawn from the Scottish composer James MacMillan’s opera The Sacrifice, inspired by the medieval folk tales of The Mabinogion and premiered to great acclaim by Welsh National Opera in 2007.

| 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.

| Peacock Theatre, London, London WC2A 2HT, United Kingdom Tuesday 7-Sep-10 07:00pm 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!
