This is the eighth fully staged community opera to be presented by Blackheath Halls, led by a professional production team and with a stunning professional cast. As in previous years, the opera brings together so many different sections of the local community – an adult chorus, local school children, including students from two local special schools, and the Blackheath Halls Orchestra, working alongside students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and six highly acclaimed professional opera singers.

Anna Picard, in The Independent on Sunday described the Halls’ opera project as ‘one of the calendar’s most heartening events’ and Graham Rogers in The Stage said ‘there can few more worthy uses of Arts Council England grants’. The success of this project is very much due to the dedication and support of so many people who freely give of their time and energy in so many different ways. The community opera epitomises exactly what the Halls were originally built for, as it is at the heart of the local community.

Keith Murray General Manager THE ADVENTURES OF COUNT ORY 3 Schools’ involvement in Blackheath Halls Opera You will have the delight of seeing lots of local children and young people performing in The Adventures of Count Ory tonight. These children and young people have been working hard on their performance since the beginning of June. Our performers this year are Year 5 from St Margaret’s Lee Primary School (15 and 18 July), Year 4 from Lee Manor Primary School (16 and 20 July) and students from Greenvale School (15 and 18 July) and Charlton Park Academy (16 and 20 July). We began our work with the schools by gathering them all together for an introductory session. The day started by introducing the team and explaining everyone’s responsibilities. Harry Fehr, our Director, then told the story of the opera. The children were asked to form ‘tableaux’ of some of the crucial scenes and displayed some excellent acting ability. Harry then described his staging concepts along with Max Dorey, our Designer this year. The children and young people were particularly interested in what they were going to have to wear for their performances. The introductory session ended with Nick Jenkins, our Musical Director, warming up their voices and singing a few snippets of the opera. Throughout June Harry, Nick and I, along with Jeremy Cooke on piano and Jack Furness supporting Harry visited each school 3 times and rehearsed with each class individually. We were so impressed with how much the children retained from session to session and how involved they were in the rehearsals. Their teachers also gave us tremendous support with this and backed up lots of our work in the time between sessions. Then the fun really started!! The schools came to Blackheath Halls for a full day on Tuesday 8 July to practice everything that they had learnt on the real stage with the real principal singers. The children also watched the other school performing their exact moves which is an invaluable part of the learning process. New Sussex Opera’s 2014 production is nso At the final two rehearsals the children came together with the adult chorus and put on Weber’s Oberon. The magnificent overture their costumes for the first time. Tonight they are getting a chance to perform everything is frequently played, but the neglected they have learnt demonstrating how hard they’ve worked. I’m sure they will make you feel opera itself contains some of his most really proud. We are so lucky to have such wonderful teachers, schools and pupils in our delightful music. area and it is a great privilege for Blackheath Halls and our opera team to work with them. The story is a sequel to Shakespeare’s Our particular thanks go to the class teachers from the primary schools, Claire Soares and OBERON A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Oberon, Emily Hall, and the two coordinating teachers from Greenvale and Charlton Park Academy, Romantic opera in 3 acts King of the Fairies, guides Sir Huon of Rachel Dunlop and Elizabeth Whittick. However, we know that there are so many other people supporting us with the schools’ involvement in the opera: all the other staff at the in the original English Bordeaux on his epic quest to seek the participating schools and of course all the hard working parents and carers who ferry hand in marriage of the beautiful Reiza, their charges back and forth on so many occasions and work so hard behind the scenes.

  • 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.

Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

ADVISORY BOARD Amy Atkinson Karen Elson Jill Robinson Anne Brown Karen Hayes Patterson Sims Libby Callaway Gavin Ivester Mike Smith Chase Cole Keith Meacham Ronnie Steine Jen Cole Ellen Meyer Joseph Sulkowski Stephanie Conner Dave Pittman Stacy Widelitz Gavin Duke Paul Polycarpou Betsy Wills Kristy Edmunds Anne Pope Mel Ziegler A MESSAGE FROM OZ Welcome and thank you for joining us for our first presentation as a new destination for contemporary performing and visual arts in Nashville. By being in the audience, you are not only supporting the visiting artists who have brought their work to Nashville for this rare occasion, you are also supporting the growth of contemporary art in this region. We thank you for your continued support. We are exceptionally lucky and very proud to have with us this evening, one of the worlds’ most inspiring choreographic minds, Wayne McGregor. An artist who emphasizes collaboration and a wide range of perspectives in his creative process, McGregor brings his own brilliant intellect and painterly vision to life in each of his works. In FAR, we witness the mind and body as interconnected forces; distorted and sensual within the same frame. As ten stunning dancers hyperextend and crouch, rapidly moving through light and shadow to a mesmerizing score, the relationship between imagination and movement becomes each viewer’s own interpretation. An acronym for Flesh in the Age of Reason, McGregor’s FAR investigates self-understanding and exemplifies the theme from Roy Porter’s novel by the same name, “that we outlive our mortal existence most enduringly in the ideas we leave behind.” Strap in.
