We talked to James Clutton, director of opera at Opera Holland Park, about Mozart's sparkling comedy.
Mozart classic
'Mozart’s Neapolitan comedy is a summer evening classic. There is slapstick, romance, sublime music and poignancy as two sets of young lovers learn a little more about real life and each other.'Cast from strength
'Here, as in the rest of the season, it was a question of finding a perfectly balanced cast. I’m pleased to say that we have achieved exactly that: Eleanor Dennis, Kitty Whately, Nick Pritchard and Nicholas Lester are graduates of some of the the most prestigious early career training programmes, including the ENO Harewood, BBC New Generation, State Opera of South Australia and OHP Young Artists schemes. Sarah Tynan has had huge success with OHP, ENO, WNO and Scottish Opera, and Peter Coleman Wright is a veteran of international houses from New York to Milan.What gives the production real pep is the way that our director Oliver Platt and conductor Dane Lam bring eighteenth century Naples to life in their work with the OHP chorus. It’s a busy, sexy, cosmopolitan city of hustlers, aristocrats, dandies, soldiers, musicians and merchants..'
