Performances take place in the spectacular Opera Pavilion, which sits within the rolling landscape of the Chiltern Hills, less than an hour from London. Garsington Opera was founded in 1989 by the late Leonard Ingrams and his wife Rosalind at Garsington Manor, near Oxford. Following Leonard’s untimely death, Garsington Opera moved to the Wormsley Estate, home of the Getty family, in 2011. The festival presents a programme of four operas each year during a seven- week summer period, often including a Mozart opera, and also champions less-known works which have included a number of notable British premieres to include Haydn’s Orlando Paladino, Vivaldi’s L’Olimpiade, and Rossini’s Armida, L’equivoco stravagante and Maometto secondo. Productions have also been taken to a number of European festivals and the company’s 2007 production of Richard Strauss’s Die ägyptische Helenawas presented at the Metropolitan Opera, New York.

  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    2 Bloomsbury What were the anti-war feelings chiefly expressed outside ‘organised’ protest and not under political or religious banners – those attitudes which form the raison d’être for this study? As the Great War becomes more distant in time, certain actions and individuals become greyer and more obscure whilst others seem to become clearer and imbued with a dash of colour amid the sepia. One thinks particularly of the so-called Bloomsbury Group.1 Any overview of ‘alter- native’ attitudes to the war must consider the responses of Bloomsbury to the shadows of doubt and uncertainty thrown across page and canvas by the con- flict. Despite their notoriety, the reactions of the Bloomsbury individuals are important both in their own right and as a mirror to the similar reactions of obscurer individuals from differing circumstances and backgrounds. In the origins of Bloomsbury – well known as one of the foremost cultural groups of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods – is to be found the moral and aesthetic core for some of the most significant humanistic reactions to the war. The small circle of Cambridge undergraduates whose mutual appreciation of the thoughts and teachings of the academic and philosopher G.E. Moore led them to form lasting friendships, became the kernel of what would become labelled ‘the Bloomsbury Group’. It was, as one academic described, ‘a nucleus from which civilisation has spread outwards’.2 This rippling effect, though tem- porarily dammed by the keenly-felt constrictions of the war, would continue to flow outwards through the twentieth century, inspiring, as is well known, much analysis and interpretation along the way.

  • GARSINGTON OPERA to MOVE to WORMSLEY ESTATE, HOME of the GETTY FAMILY, in 2011 Submitted By: Clare Adams Publicity Thursday, 29 April 2010
    GARSINGTON OPERA TO MOVE TO WORMSLEY ESTATE, HOME OF THE GETTY FAMILY, IN 2011 Submitted by: Clare Adams Publicity Thursday, 29 April 2010 The Directors of Garsington Opera (http://www.garsingtonopera.org) are pleased to announce that Wormsley Estate, the home of the Getty family, is the preferred site for Garsington Opera with effect from the 2011 season. Garsington Opera, founded by the late Leonard Ingrams and his wife Rosalind in 1989, has established an enviable reputation over the last twenty-one years for promoting opera of the highest professional quality in an outdoor setting for a short summer season. Wormsley Estate is set within a magnificent historic landscape in the Chiltern Hills, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An elegant pavilion auditorium will be created, to be assembled annually, sited close to an attractive collection of flinted buildings, not far from Wormsley House, and nestling in the beautiful deer park. After twenty-one years at Garsington Manor, Garsington Opera has been seeking a new location over the last two years and has reached agreement with Mark Getty to hold the festival at the Wormsley Estate from the summer of 2011. Garsington Opera has now started consultations with the local community, relevant authorities and other interested parties and shall be applying for planning consent. As well as being the setting of the famous cricket ground established by Sir Paul Getty, Wormsley enjoys an impressive two acre 18th century walled garden, a short drive away from the opera pavilion. The estate straddles the Oxfordshire / Buckinghamshire border. It is located close to the M40, is less than fifteen miles from Garsington Manor, and under an hour from central London.

Fortunately I am rarely overheard as I endlessly repeat words and phrases, trying to find the music in them: the exact pitches and rhythms needed to portray a particular emotion often take me an exasperatingly long time to find. One of the things that I love most about writing songs is that I feel I truly get to know and understand the poetry I am setting. The music, as I write it, allows me to feel as if I am inhabiting the character in the poem, and I often only discover what the poem really says to me when I reach the final bar. This disc features a number of texts either written especially for me (Kei Miller, Tamsin Collison, Andrew Motion, Stuart Murray), or already in existence (Kate Wakeling, Ian McMillan, 4th century Aristotle).

Example citation: Wilson, J. M. (2015) Katherine Mansfield and T.S. Eliot. Paper presented to: Katherine Mansfield and the 'Blooms Berries', Newberry Library, Chicago, USA, 28­30 May 2015. Version: Presented version Official URL: http://www.katherinemansfieldsociety.org/chicago­conference­ 2015/ NECTARhttp://nectar.northampton.ac.uk/7579/ Abstract: “Katherine Mansfield and T.S. Eliot” Katherine Mansfield and T. S. Eliot had a friendly yet fraught relationship in which an initial mutual admiration turned into wariness. Their literary acquaintance began with the Bloomsbury Circle, and Mansfield’s enthusiasm for The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock which she read out at Garsington Manor in June 1917, saying: ‘that’s what I want modern poetry to be’, and ‘it is after all, a short story’. Later she saw his poetry as ‘unspeakably dreary’, while he formed the view that she was ‘a thick skinned toady’, and ‘a dangerous WOMAN’. Eliot’s brief comments on Mansfield’s story ‘Bliss’ give some insight into his views of her work. This paper, however, aims to examine his modernism as a possible influence on on her artistic practice (evident in allusions to ’Preludes’, Prufrock and ‘Rhapsody on a Winter’s Night’), and the possible impact of his criticism and theories of art on her thinking (for example, her belief in the impersonality of the artist). Finally it will consider how the relationship has been taken up as a subject for fiction by New Zealand writer and critic, C.K.
