Opera Scenes, March 2024
Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Milton Court Concert Hall
I was delighted to be invited back to Guildhall a fourth time to direct opera scenes for the Guildhall masters students. This time we were in Milton Court Concert Hall, so there was no set, but we got to work on wonderful selections from Die Tote Stadt (Korngold), A Hand of Bridge (Barber - complete), Eugene Onegin, L’Amour de loin (Saariaho), Trouble in Tahiti, Don Giovanni, Falstaff, The Rape of Lucretia, Il Matrimonio Segreto, La Finta Giardiniera.
