I am full of gratitude, admiration and praise for the entire team behind this performance, coming as it does, in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis. The students and staff have responded magnificently to the many challenges presented by the lockdown and the Director, Olivia Fuchs, and our own Head of Opera, Dominic Wheeler, describe some of the issues they have faced later in this programme. The School has a strong reputation for imaginative innovation and this team’s resourcefulness and invention have never been more urgently required, nor more self-evident. My thanks to every single member of the cast, crew and orchestra for pulling together, in the most inspiring way, to push the boundaries of possibility and produce such an exciting online encounter. I hope you enjoy the experience.

The realisation of this we have all been involved in over the last event is at this moment of writing still not few weeks. The first thing we all had to quite clear, but I am trusting in the process do was let go of what could have been and and my wonderful collaborators – takis, the embrace the new. A sense of uncertainty, set and costume designer, Jake Wiltshire, surprise and dealing with the unknown is our lighting designer, and the most recent part of every creative endeavour.

  • Commissioned Orchestral Version of Jonathan Dove’S Mansfield Park, Commemorating the 200Th Anniversary of the Death of Jane Austen
    The Grange Festival announces the world premiere of a specially- commissioned orchestral version of Jonathan Dove’s Mansfield Park, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the death of Jane Austen Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September 2017 The Grange Festival’s Artistic Director Michael Chance is delighted to announce the world premiere staging of a new orchestral version of Mansfield Park, the critically-acclaimed chamber opera by composer Jonathan Dove and librettist Alasdair Middleton, in September 2017. This production of Mansfield Park puts down a firm marker for The Grange Festival’s desire to extend its work outside the festival season. The Grange Festival’s inaugural summer season, 7 June-9 July 2017, includes brand new productions of Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, Bizet’s Carmen, Britten’s Albert Herring, as well as a performance of Verdi’s Requiem and an evening devoted to the music of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Rodgers & Hart with the John Wilson Orchestra. Mansfield Park, in September, is a welcome addition to the year, and the first world premiere of specially-commissioned work to take place at The Grange. This newly-orchestrated version of Mansfield Park was commissioned from Jonathan Dove by The Grange Festival to celebrate the serendipity of two significant milestones for Hampshire occurring in 2017: the 200th anniversary of the death of Austen, and the inaugural season of The Grange Festival in the heart of the county with what promises to be a highly entertaining musical staging of one of her best-loved novels. Mansfield Park was originally written by Jonathan Dove to a libretto by Alasdair Middleton based on the novel by Jane Austen for a cast of ten singers with four hands at a single piano.
