SUMMARY:Meet and Greet with Opera Voice Tours
DESCRIPTION:Ireland’s Blackwater Valley Opera Festival has been likened to Glyndebourne. While this is an understandable comparison\, it is unfair to both festivals. They are equally unique\, and for many\, the venue of Lismore Castle in the scenic Blackwater Valley is far superior\, and what it lacks in scale\, it more than makes up for in intimacy and variety. \n\nOpera Voice Tours is offering you a two-night stay in a 5-star luxury hotel with the opportunity to attend two operas and an afternoon concert\, a chance to dine in the castle grounds\, and the possibility of meeting and talking to two of the principal singers. \n​ \nAll your travel while in Ireland will be taken care of\, which includes return transport from Cork airport or Cork train station to the hotel and return transport between the hotel and the festival. All meals are included in the price\, apart from the first evening\, owing to the many dining options available. However\, they can easily be ordered on arrival.    \n​ \nPlease note that places are restricted to ensure that we can offer you individual attention and that the meetings with the singers have a degree of personal contact. \n\n\nFriday 31st May \n​18:30: Meet Soprano Kelli-Ann Masterson \nYou can read more about Kelli-Ann on her website at: www.kelliannmasterson.com \n\n​ \n​

SUMMARY:In Praise of St Cecilia
DESCRIPTION:4th April 2024 | 7.30pm \nFisherwick Presbyterian Church |  BELFAST \n​ \n5th April 2024 | 8:00pm \nThomastown Concert Hall | KILKENNY \n​ \n\n\nAbout the Event \nProgramme \nMarc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704)  \nOuverture pour le sacre d’un évêque\, H. 536 (1690)  \nMarc-Antoine Charpentier  \nLitanies de la Vierge H. 83 (1684) \nHenry Purcell (1659-1695)   \nWelcome to all the pleasures\, Z339 (1683) \nMarc-Antoine Charpentier   \nCaecilia Virgo et Martyr H. 413 (1684) \n​ \nSestina Music presents In Praise of St. Cecilia\, a powerful programme celebrating the patron saint of music. Purcell’s celebratory ode\, Welcome to all the Pleasures is a vibrant celebration of solo and choral harmonies blending poetry and music. Commissioned by The Musical Society\, London\, for St Cecilia’s Day 1683\, it is a lively piece that exudes youthfulness and artistic camaraderie. A chamber oratorio\, Caecilia Virgo et Martyr showcases Charpentier’s ability to exquisitely convey drama and emotion through music. In contrast\, Charpentier’s profound spiritual sensitivity is evident in the solemn Litanies de la Vierge\, which employs intricate polyphony to evoke reverence and reflection. Brought to life by Sestina Music’s talented singers\, Next Generation Mentoring Programme participants and their band of authentic period instrumentalists\, each piece reveals a distinct facet of Baroque music demonstrating the era’s richness and the depth of the composer’s creativity in captivating and enthralling ways.

DESCRIPTION:National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company \nThe Yeomen of The Guard\nwith the National Festival Orchestra conducted by Murray Hipkin\nSun 30 Jul – Sat 12 Aug 2023\nBuxton Opera House \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company is the G&S Festival’s resident professional company. It returns to Buxton with three brand-new productions of all-time favourites\, The Mikado\, The Yeomen of the Guard\, The Pirates of Penzance and the acclaimed\, The Best of Gilbert & Sullivan Concert.\nThe Yeomen of the Guard is set in the Tower of London and is the most emotionally engaging of the G&S canon combining tragedy and despair with W S Gilbert’s sharp wit and satire. Colonel Fairfax is doomed to execution on a false charge of sorcery.  To avoid leaving his estate to his cousin and accuser\, he secretly marries a strolling player Elsie Maynard. Jack Point also loves Elsie but agrees to the marriage knowing his rival will be dead within hours. But Fairfax escapes\, and chaos ensues. \nGenerally considered to be Sullivan’s finest score\, this brand-new production of The Yeomen of the Guard is directed by Simon Butteriss who also stars as heartbroken Jack Point.
