Sir John in Love
|
| Posted by David Collins | |
  ENO proudly reaffirms its commitment to celebrating English opera with a delightful new production of Vaughan Williams’s rarely seen Sir John in Love – based on Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor. Vaughan Williams, one of Britain’s finest composers, wrote a ravishingly buoyant score that is conducted by Oleg Caetani, while the distinguished director Ian Judge brings an idyllic portrait of early 20th-century England to the stage. An exemplary British cast, led by the irrepressible Andrew Shore in the title role, adds to the promise of an enchanting and lively evening of music and theatre. Supported by the Friends of ENO, the English Opera Group and the English National Opera Trust Mar 02, 7:30pm Mar 04, 6:30pm Mar 11, 6:30pm Mar 14, 7:30pm Mar 17, 7:30pm Mar 23, 7:30pm Mar 25, 6:30pm Apr 01, 6:30pm ---------------------- English National Opera London Coliseum St. Martin's Lane London WC2N 4ES www.eno.org |
