  • Noye's Fludde
    "The orchestra played with consistent verve under the confident and stylish direction of Oliver Gooch" The Guardian. British conductor Oliver Gooch is rapidly establishing a reputation as a conductor of considerable versatility in a wide range of symphonic and operatic repertoire. Following an appointment by Sir Antonio Pappano as the first Associate Young Artist at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 2004, his conducting career to date has seen collaborations with many of the major UK orchestras, including the LSO, Philharmonia, BBC Symphony, Hallé, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and Northern Sinfonia. He has also continued to have a fruitful relationship with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, as a regular guest conductor. Further afield, he has made highly acclaimed debuts with the Queensland and Tasmanian Symphonies in Australia, New York Sinfonietta, Orchestra i Pomeriggi Musicali in Milan, and Orchestra della Toscana. He has an ongoing relationship with Italy’s major touring company, Associazione Lirica e Concertistica Italiana (AsLico). He balances orchestral engagements with extensive work in opera in the UK and abroad. He gave the American premiere of Janáček’s Šarka with Dicapo Opera in New York, and in Europe, made his Italian debut at Teatro Ponchielli, Cremona with Die Zauberflöte (praised in Corriere della Ser). In the UK, at the age of twenty one, he came to attention as Founding Artistic Director of Opera East Productions, platforming many exciting British young singers who have since gone on to have notable careers. Between 1999-2011, he conducted over thirty productions, including an award winning Rape of Lucretia designed by Sir Terry Frost, and the world premiere of Tarik O’Regan’s Heart of Darkness, in collaboration with ROH2/Opera Genesis.

  • Legendary Impresario Raymond Gubbay to Publish His Autobiography: Lowering the Tone & Raising the Roof
    LEGENDARY IMPRESARIO RAYMOND GUBBAY TO PUBLISH HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY: LOWERING THE TONE & RAISING THE ROOF PUBLICATION DATE: 20TH MAY 2021, FROM QUILLER PUBLISHING Few people have transformed the UK’s musical scene more than impresario Raymond Gubbay. He recounts over fifty years in the business in his forthcoming autobiography, Lowering the Tone & Raising the Roof, presenting orchestral music, opera and dance to millions. In this much-anticipated autobiography, Gubbay brings to life his extraordinary career and the many great personalities he’s worked with. With a provenance rich in history and talent, he retraces the musical legacy of his family, growing up in a liberal Jewish household in 1950s post-war London and the challenges he faced while embarking on his musical journey after a few failed attempts at corporate conformity. Passionate and enigmatic, this memoir delves right into the heart of 1960s performing arts, with Gubbay setting up on his own when he started with a handful of performers touring to modest venues around the country, building a brand and a style which seemed very much in tune with the times. Later working alongside some of the most prestigious classical and popular artists of our time – from Yehudi Menuhin, Luciano Pavarotti and the English National Ballet to Ray Charles, Miles Davis and Andrew Lloyd- Webber – Gubbay has witnessed and played a hand in promoting and producing some of the most iconic performances of opera, ballet and classical music ever staged in some of the largest music venues in Britain, including the Royal Festival Hall, Symphony Hall Birmingham – and not least of all at the Royal Albert Hall.
