SUMMARY:In Five Years' Time - a new opera
DESCRIPTION:In Five Years’ Time is a ‘drama in song’ based on an experimental play by Spain’s favourite poet\, Federico García Lorca\, who described the work as a meditation on the passing of time. The surreal plot explores themes of love\, identity and decay\, yet does so in the manner of a fairy tale\, clothed in fun and topsy-turvy. Lorca himself said it was impossible to stage\, but The Music Troupe has put together a cast of 8 superb singers – playing 14 roles – to bring this operatic adaptation to life in the style of a cabaret. Displaying Edward Lambert’s trademark lyricism\, the music is stimulating and accessible while the drama and poetry are uniquely heart-rending. Five years to the day after completing the draft\, when the nationalists rose up on the outbreak of civil war\, Lorca was executed and the play turned out to posses more than a hint of prophecy. \nJoin us in the atmospheric surroundings of The Space Theatre in London’s East End for the first performances of this exciting new opera. \nFederico: James Schouten (tenor)\nBridesmaid 1 / Dying Child: Rosalind Dobson (soprano)\nBridesmaid 2 / Dying Cat: Mae Heydorn (mezzo–soprano)\nBelisa / Italian Countess: Lucy Gibbs (mezzo–soprano)\nRosita: Fiona Hymns (soprano)\nPedro / Colombina: Jean-Max Lattemann (counter–tenor)\nJuan / Arlecchino: Chris Murphy (baritone)\nFernando / Pierrot: Thomas Stevenson (bass)\nMusic: Edward Lambert\nWords: adapted by the composer after the play Así que pasen cinco años (1931)\nMusical Director / Piano: Alistair Burton\nAccordion: Jing Jia\nLighting: Simon Pike\nMovement: Jenny Weston\nStage Director: Walter Hall

SUMMARY:Visionaries: a multi sensory experience
DESCRIPTION:Experience Handel/Milton’s L’Allegro Part I through all your senses other than sight.

SUMMARY:The Duchess of Padua
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Wilde’s epic tragedy of revenge and passion turned into a compact opera. An earnest young man falls for the browbeaten wife of the cruel and coercive Duke – with dreadful consequences for them all. At times melodramatic\, at times sentimental\, our adaptation of Wilde’s beautiful verse follows the twists and turns of this extraordinary Gothic drama in which the only murder is committed by a woman. With arias\, choruses\, a love-duet and a death scene\, a quartet of fine singers brings to life the first performances of this ‘Italian-style’ opera for intimate spaces.  \nBeatrice\, Duchess of Padua \nEllie Neate (soprano) \nGuido Ferranti \nAnna Elizabeth Cooper (mezzo-soprano) \nThe Duke of Padua \nJames Beddoe (tenor) \nCount Moranzone \nHenry Grant Kerswell (bass) \nDirector: Fleur Snow \nDesigner: Melissa Sofoian \n“Powered along by a dynamic\, pulsating score for piano duet\, with soaring bel canto vocals and dramatic recitatives\, there was never a dull moment to be experienced…” (Planet Hugill on Masque of Vengeance\, November 2023)
