SUMMARY:If Opera - Iolanta
DESCRIPTION:Iolanta Pyotr Tchaikovsky\nLibretto by Modest Tchaikovsky\nBased on the play Kong Renés Datter by Henrik Hertz \nFirst performed 18th December 1892 at Mariinsky Theatre\, St Petersburg \nDirected by Lysanne Van Overbeek\nConductor Paul Wingfield\nWith the If Opera Ensemble and resident orchestra Bristol Ensemble\nSung in Russian with English surtitles \nWiltshire Music Centre\, Bradford on Avon \nRunning time approximately 90 minutes\, no interval. \nAmong Tchaikovsky’s canon sits what has become one of the most treasured of his operas – the fantastical\, deeply moving Iolanta. This one act opera is a heartbreaking tale of the blind princess who is unaware of her disability as all those who care for her manage to keep it secret from her. Her world is one of darkness\, and she believes that is how it is for everybody. Love\, in the form of Count Vaudemont\, however\, comes to visit her and it is love’s embrace that brings back her sight. \nTchaikovsky’s ‘fairy tale’ has of course deeper meaning – the return of Iolanta’s sight is wrapped up in the notion of love’s true power but it was also in line with contemporaneous medical thinking. Whatever the background to the story\, however\, Iolanta is a relentlessly beautiful opera with aria after aria\, and a central duet of such febrile\, blistering gorgeousness that there is a growing belief that this opera sits among the very best of the composer’s work. The final exultant chorus is without question one of Tchaikovsky’s most beautiful and powerful creations. \nThis costumed and staged production\, our first at the Wiltshire Music Centre\, will create the magic of Iolanta’s kingdom and gives the If Opera ensemble a chance to sing one of the most exquisite of late 19th century Russian operas. \nIf Opera’s production will be directed by Lysanne van Overbeek and conducted by Paul Wingfield. \nVisit our membership page to access Priority Booking and other benefits\, or find out more about other opportunities for support. \nVenue: Wiltshire Music Centre\, Ashley Rd\, Bradford-on-Avon\, Wiltshire.

SUMMARY:Tea-Time Concert
DESCRIPTION:Schubert String Quintet in C D.956 \nWritten just two months before the composer’s death\, Schubert’s String Quintet is widely regarded by many as his finest chamber work and one of the most important of the repertoire. It has been described as ‘sublime’ and having ‘bottomless pathos’. The Adagio second movement is tranquilly sublime\, and is so treasured that it has become one of the most requested pieces on Desert Island Discs. \nTea and home made cakes served at 4pm. \nTickets £15 (£13 for those on low incomes)\, available online from Eventbrite or on the door. Under 18s free of charge.
