T486245522Due to the lockdown announced for England, it is with sadness that we must cancel all scheduled performances of Falstaff and Ariodante for live audiences. Due to the smaller artistic forces required, we are pleased to be able to perform Ariodante as a live-stream concert. We would like to thank all our Friends, patrons and audiences for their ongoing support during this challenging time. Giuseppe Verdi's masterful last opera tells the tale of a portly knight with an irrepressible appetite for life, love and laughter. A score full of quicksilver switches in mood and tempo matches the sprightliness of a spirited libretto based on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry IV plays. This unmissable operatic treat unites world-leading singers – including bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, soprano Rebecca Evans and baritone Simon Keenleyside – with The Royal Opera's Music Director Antonio Pappano, who conducts the Royal Opera Chorus, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and a cast that includes members of the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme in a celebratory in-concert atmosphere. | |
