Sir Mark Elder's first subscription week of concerts on January 5-10, is an all-Berlioz program, highlighted by the Queen Mab Scherzo and Romeo at the Tomb from the composer's Romeo and Juliet. Select readings from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, performed by Brendan Marshall-Rashid and Susan Strunk from the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, precede these two works. British violist Lawrence Power also makes his CSO debut on these concerts and is featured in Berlioz's Harold in Italy, a work Paganini encouraged Berlioz to compose and was inspired by Lord Byron's poetry. Elder concludes his two-week winter residency January 12-15, with a further exploration into Shakespeare's influence on music through works by Delius, Elgar, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky. Included on the program is Elgar's rarely performed orchestral work Falstaff, which portrays Shakespeare's Sir John Falstaff from Henry IV. Actor Greg Vinkler brings to life passages from Henry IV Parts 1 and 2.

  • HGO Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE HGO PRESENTS Partenope An opera not-so-seria by George Frideric Handel Libretto after Silvio Stampiglia May 17th to 26th 2019 At Jacksons Lane Theatre, Highgate London N6 5AA Stage Director: Ashley Pearson Music Director: Bertie Baigent • with the HGO Orchestra www.hgo.org.uk/partenope HGO, North London’s leading opera company, will perform Handel’s exuberant opera Partenope from May 17th to 26th at Jacksons Lane Theatre in Highgate. The story of four love rivals seeking the hand of Queen Partenope, amid romantic complications and cross-dressing disguise, with its colourful and vibrant score, went unperformed for many years after its 1730 premiere, but is now recognized as a showcase of Handel’s mastery. HGO’s production is set at a fantasy Victorian era seaside, at a time when the British middle classes began to enjoy holidays away from their ‘real’ lives and the chance to escape social convention - an era when strong social norms and taboos contrasted with the sense of boundless opportunity resulting from the might of the British Empire and the birth of consumerism. But there is a sense from the start of the opera that we have arrived somewhere where destiny holds sway, dreams might become reality and Cupid is a force to be reckoned with. In her first aria, Partenope, here the proprietress of a leading seaside establishment, proclaims, “Love and fate will fight for me,” kicking off a whirlwind in which love and destiny seem to be at war. Ashley Pearson, Production Director, says: “The great power of Handel’s opera lies in his ability to convey through the music the depth of feeling of each of his characters.
