‘There’s summer opera - and then there’s Investec Opera Holland Park’
Each opera is sung in the original language, but subtitling is projected above the stage so that you can follow the story. There are around six different operas presented every season and nearly 50 performances. Many of the operas are famous classics, but the company also has a reputation for selecting daring, innovative works.
In 2017, the Investec Opera Holland Park programme included:
La Rondine
100 years on from the premiere in Monte Carlo, this was the first time this Giacomo Puccini production was performed at Opera Holland Park.
Don Giovanni
In another new production, Mozart's Don Giovanni tells the tale of the legend of Don Juan, blending comedy and melodrama in its two acts.
Kát’a Kabanová
The only revival in the 2017 season was Leoš Janáček's Kát’a Kabanová. A captivating drama, this romantic tragedy lends itself to many different interpretations.
Zazà
The score of Zazà borrows a great deal from Ruggero Leoncavello's time spent in French music halls as an early composer, in another new production.
