Since 1998 1 2017 SINCE 1998 1 1 ‘I had such a good time that I was sorely tempted to jump on stage at the final chorus and join in’ DAILY TELEGRAPH Oliver! at Grange Park Simon Opera Keenlyside 2016. as Fagin with his gang of pickpockets WELCOME FIVE MIRACLES HAVE TAKEN PLACE. The first was finding the magical setting of West Horsley Place. Other marvels were getting planning permission to build a fabulous new opera house in the Surrey Hills, the generosity of contributors (listed later) and the pace at which Martin Smith, our builder, has been making it take shape. How convenient that all this is happening a mile from a railway station – and around the corner from the M25. Of course, the greatest miracle of all has been the exceptional philanthropy of Bamber and Christina Gascoigne. By placing their inheritance into a charitable trust, this bewitching house and grounds can now be enjoyed forever by many people from all walks of life. Such miracles are cause for celebration and I do hope you will join us. Of course, the new can be frightening so it will be blended with familiar old friends: the seats – originally from the Royal Opera House – have come with us, as have the Indian pavilions, the chandeliers and the much-loved train set. At the heart of the experience is music. On June 8, Grange Park Opera will open in its new home with Tosca, and to sing for us we have captured the tenor superstar, Joseph Calleja. Joseph is one of a firmament that will be performing this season: Natalya Romaniw is in the title role of Janacek’s Jenufa (written at the same time as Tosca and with a similarly lavish orchestral palette), while for Wagner’s epic Die Walküre, American tenor Bryan Register will sing Siegmund opposite Rachel Nichols whose performances throughout Europe have been the talk of the EU. The icing on the cake is an evening with two superstars: Zenaida Yanowsky, Principal Artist with the Royal Ballet, and our patron, recently-knighted Bryn Terfel – who kindly said that he found singing with Grange Park Opera “life-affirming”. Thank you to all who have helped – both now and since 1998. We have stepped into a fairy tale. Come and join us.

She is also carrying his child. Add a jealous half-brother and a conflicted stepmother into the mix and it adds up to an explosive drama. And that’s even before the winter ice melts to reveal a terrible secret. Regarded as one of Janacek’s masterpieces, Jenufa is music drama at its most intense and devastating, composed in the months preceding his daughter’s death.

The opera singer, Floria Tosca, has two admirers. One is Mario Cavaradossi, a painter – and the man she loves. The other is the Chief of Police, Baron Scarpia, who wants them both: Tosca in his bed and Cavaradossi dead. Political tensions and personal passions collide; Tosca will pay the ultimate price. Superstar tenor Joseph Calleja takes the role of Cavaradossi opposite Ekaterina Metlova, who will sing Tosca, in this most passionate and dramatic of operas.

Issues of continuity and gradual evolution of practices as opposed to rupture and sudden replacement form a major theme of funerary archaeological research as well as the broader socio-political context of the 4th to 7th centuries CE in England (e.g. Oosthuizen 2019). For this reason it is worth going the extra mile when interrogating and contextualising the relevant evidence in order to reach conclusions based upon as complete a picture as possible. The main focus of the following paragraphs is the interpretation of some of the items found in Guildown grave 78 put forward by Bird (and others before him) and how, in his words, these ‘must raise speculation about some form of continuity from late Roman arrange- ments in this general area’ (Bird 2018, 6-7).
