  • There's a Real Buzz and Sense of Purpose About What This Company Is Doing
    15 FEBRUARY 7.15PM & 17 FEBRUARY 2PM “There’s a real buzz and sense of purpose about what this company is doing” ~ The Guardian www.niopera.com Grand Opera House, Belfast Welcome to The Grand Opera House for this new production of The Flying Dutchman. This is, by some way, NI Opera’s biggest production to date. Our very first opera (Menotti’s The Medium, coincidentally staged two years ago this month) utilised just five singers and a chamber band, and to go from this to a grand opera demanding 50 singers and a full symphony orchestra in such a short space of time indicates impressive progress. Similarly, our performances of Noye’s Fludde at the Beijing Music Festival in October, and our recent Irish Times Theatre Award nominations for The Turn of the Screw, demonstrate that our focus on bringing high quality, innovative opera to the widest possible audience continues to bear fruit. It feels appropriate for us to be staging our first Wagner opera in the bicentenary of the composer’s birth, but this production marks more than just a historical anniversary. Unsurprisingly, given the cost and complexities involved in performing Wagner, this will be the first fully staged Dutchman to be seen in Northern Ireland for generations. More unexpectedly, perhaps, this is the first ever new production of a Wagner opera by a Northern Irish company. Northern Ireland features heavily in this production. The opera begins and ends with ships and the sea, and it does not take too much imagination to link this back to Belfast’s industrial heritage and the recent Titanic commemorations.

We are so pleased to have you with us to share in the unique experience of live orchestral music. Our hope is that you come away from the Fresno Philharmonic with a deeper sense of connection to music and the artists who write and perform it. The Fresno Philharmonic’s 2019-20 season is all about making connections through music. By exploring works from the theater, opera and movies, as well as the concert hall, we’ll attempt to redefine what an orchestra concert can be. This seems only appropriate given that 2020 marks the world-wide celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. More than any other composer, Beethoven redefined classical music in ways that still reverberate today.
