Glyndebourne on tour returns to Milton Keynes with a spectacular trio |
 Now in its 41st year, Glyndebourne on Tour (GOT) returns to Milton Keynes Theatre 24 – 28 Nov 2009 with three spectacular productions showcasing some of the best emerging young talent on the operatic stage. Incorporating both new and familiar productions, GOT is led once again by Robin Ticciati, now in the final year of his tenure as Music Director.
A revival of the 2006 Glyndebourne Festival production of Mozart’s Così fan tutte, a wickedly seductive comedy of erotic manners and amorous deception, will be conducted by Patrick Lange, a former assistant to Claudio Abbado and currently Kappellmeister at the Berlin Komische Oper. Gillian Ramm, the understudy for Fiordiligi in the 2007 Festival who went on to sing the majority of the performances with great success, will make her Tour debut in a return to the role. Verdi’s final opera, Italian lyric comedy Falstaff, centres on the disagreeable yet loveable Sir John, and follows his plans to seduce two local women and the inevitable fall out that follows as they exact their wiley revenge. Falstaff will be brought to the stage following its successful run at this summer’s Festival. Originally directed by Olivier Award winner Richard Jones, this revival will be conducted for the Tour by American James Gaffigan in his UK opera debut. Bass-baritone Jonathan Veira will sing Falstaff in the title role. Janáček’s Jenůfa a shocking tale of misdirected love, violent jealousy, moral cowardice and desperate infanticide, Janáček’s Jenůfa was the second in director Nikolaus Lehnhoff’s hugely successful series of Janáček operas at Glyndebourne. This latest revival is conducted for the Tour by Robin Ticciati. Belfast-born soprano Giselle Allen makes her company debut in the title role.
