The Falstaff project with Sir Bryn Terfel

​

​

There is an opportunity to perform in Verdi's Falstaff with Sir Bryn Terfel in the title role. The principal roles in the opera have now been cast with European Opera Centre singers

​

The project is underway and lasts until Sunday 26 November 2017 in Liverpool, UK. Falstaff will be performed in a dramatized version with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic conducted by Vasily Petrenko. It is directed by Amy Lane, Chief Staff Director, Royal Opera, Covent Garden 

​

Some singers have asked whether they can be involved as Members of the Vocal Ensemble for a reduced period. They will sing in both performances of Falstaff. This reduced period is from 2:00pm on Saturday 18 November to the end of the performance (5:30pm) on Sunday 26 November. Singers taking part receive a Masterclass on How to audition most effectively given by Laurent Pillot. They also receive a bursary of £300 towards their expenses and living costs.  If you wish to apply, complete the application form and send this as soon as possible together with a biography and recording to bairdk@hope.ac.uk. 

​

The project will suit singers of high talent starting a professional career in opera and is open to all nationalities. 

​

All singers and repetiteurs will be selected by Laurent Pillot who founded the Opera Studio at the Bavarian State Opera and was Associate Music Director of Los Angeles Opera working with Kent Nagano and Plácido Domingo;
