This year we are delighted to be joined for the first time by Thomas Guthrie, an innovative and award-winning British director, who will present a new, in-the-round production of Lucia di Lammermoor. Audiences will be sat on three sides of the stage creating an immersive and intimate experience like no other. Our production has been developed so that every seat in the house has a unique vantage point and offers everything you want in a good night out – love, lust, betrayal, intrigue and a smattering of madness! I have long wanted to work with Thomas and Lucia di Lammermoor is the perfect opera for such a collaboration. In contrast, our production of Die Fledermaus, will embrace indulgence and maybe just a touch of naughtiness… Coupled with a narration by director, Simon Butteriss, full of caustic wit, and a translation best described as having a Rumpole whimsy, this Fledermaus promises to be quite the evening of operetta!” https://www.ifopera.com/news-views-reviews/telegraph-opera-boss-michael-volpe monthly 0.5 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/894f70bd-9739-4f6a-a2b9-ded4762db977/TELEMMGLPICT000213996778_17159541941860_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqvndrSNsnR3NYwOfGUQAdZqzUec-cEBj3E5R4_g7sunw.jpeg News, Views & Reviews - The Telegraph | Opera boss Michael Volpe Addressing the current difficulties in opera, Michael remains an optimist “but insists that opera “needs to reform”. The most pressing issues facing British opera in the current climate, by his telling, are a combination of conservatism and profligacy at the big houses, as well as a paucity of medium-sized companies that can “give tonnes of singers work.”’ “I do think we have quite a lot of entitlement in opera. And it is an expensive art form,” he says. “But there’s expensive and there’s expensive. Pro rata when you’ve got a chorus and an orchestra, it’s going to be more expensive. But do you have to spend £500,000 on a set? What we should be doing is spending more of our money on giving people regular work.” He addresses how the opera ecology needs to be grown across the country, with small to medium sized companies receiving moderate funding to support them. ‘We could do worse than learn from the Germans, according to Volpe. “If we’re going to get everybody trying it out, in Bristol or some small Midlands town, we need to have companies of a decent size, a bit like Germany,” he says. “And they all run on the repertory ensemble system.” Volpe has set up a new company, If Opera, on those lines to shake things up — and he does not get any Arts Council cash. https://www.ifopera.com/news-views-reviews/join-us-for-a-gala-fundraising-dinner-at-homewood-bath monthly 0.5 2024-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/fb27d7b8-65f6-46ad-b0f6-bd08c4e54eaa/2020_july_homewood_drone_hr082.jpg News, Views & Reviews - Join us for a Fundraising Dinner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ifopera.com/news-views-reviews/bath-life-home-turf monthly 0.5 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/c79c25cf-54e9-49ba-a114-a5ea3835749f/Picture1.png News, Views & Reviews - Bath Life | Home Turf - With thanks to Bath Life for including our 2024 programme in their annual festivals feature.

When did you know you wanted to become a singer? The idea of wanting to become a singer was a bit of a slow burn for me. I grew up in a working class family, but my mum loved classical music, and we always had it on in the house. Song and classical music always resonated with me, and I was in choirs from the age of 4. It was when I joined the choir at secondary school that the idea became more present. I was very lucky and got to sing at venues such as Southwark Cathedral, St Paul’s, and the Royal Festival Hall. I was a boy soprano until the age of about 15, and got lucky that my voice broke in such a way that I slotted in nicely as a high tenor. By the time I started the introduction to opera class, at Morley College, with the incomparable Richard Jackson at the age of 17, I was pretty convinced that this was what I wanted to do. Apart from singing, what else do you love to do? I am very into computer games; they really help me relax. I am also a bit of a bookworm. Currently, though most of my time is taken up looking after my pregnant girlfriend. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I am feeling incredibly excited about singing for If Opera this summer! I have many friends in the industry who have performed with the company and to a person they have all been very positive, favourable opinions about working as part of the ensemble. I’m particularly looking forward to getting my teeth into the role of the Queen of Hearts.

Who inspires you and why? I feel inspired by every artist that tries to support new emerging artists who are trying to make this path their own from a non-privileged background. What is your favourite piece of music to sing? My favourite piece of music to sing is Rodolfo in La Boheme by G.Puccini How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I feel full of excitement in sharing this summer making music with so many wonderful artists. I’m so looking forward to it! www.grovesartists.com/artist/andres-presno https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/8f45de4a-3b25-42e5-acd2-f2b3729cbd2b/Rebecca.jpeg News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Dominick, Andrés, Rebecca and Charne - Rebecca Afonwy-Jones Rebecca Afonwy-Jones is a Welsh mezzo soprano who will be performing as Dimitri in Fedora, Mum/Mad Hatter in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at Belcombe Court and as Marthe in Iolanta at the Wiltshire Music Centre, both in Bradford on Avon. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? I was a very musical child, in a household and whole family that was farming, so it wasn't really something that I entertained as a profession or dreamt of when I was little. After a very circuitous route, taking on lots of different jobs after university that were far removed from the creative industry, I gradually found my way back to music via an amazing, inspirational teacher in Wales who encouraged me to apply for a postgraduate course. What is your favourite piece of music to sing? I have a real love of singing Donizetti, Berlioz, Mahler and Wagner - all quite different, but I can think easily of pieces composed by each of them that thrill me. Then there's Bach, Purcell, Handel...I can't possibly pick just one! If pressed, then I might choose the opening of Rheingold, singing the role of Wellgunde. Listening to the orchestra come from absolutely nothing to this great swell of sound to open the whole Ring Cycle is hugely exciting, but I am sure I would think of a different answer tomorrow! How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I'm really interested to join a group of singers, directors, conductors and crew who are all working together as a company. I am already acquainted with some of my colleagues but not all, so I am sure it will be a great experience to rekindle past working relationships and build new ones across a range of repertoire that I have never previously performed. It feels like a great challenge ahead to present four roles in three operas in three different languages! www.rebeccaafonwyjones.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/f3468d35-9909-46e2-b4f0-9912f953bdac/Charne.jpg News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Dominick, Andrés, Rebecca and Charne - Charne Rochford British tenor, Charne Rochford, will play Loris in Fedora at Belcombe Court this summer. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? Growing up I sang in choirs my whole life but as a kid, I bought a cassette of Queen’s ‘Greatest Hits’ (at a car boot sale) and as soon as I heard Freddie Mercury I knew I wanted to be a singer; he sang like there was no tomorrow... Who inspires you and why? As a singer (apart from Freddie) my main inspiration is, and will always be, Franco Corelli - simply one of the best voices to have ever existed. Outside of music, I am a huge film buff and I am continuously astounded by the films of Stanley Kubrick & David Lynch (and many others) and the searing images they create. My other main inspiration is my 14 year-old wire-haired Vizsla, Marmite. I probably get my best ideas whilst walking her... How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? It's always exciting learning a new role and meeting new people, but I am really looking forward to be joining the If Opera company this summer. Not only are they doing some brilliant rep, but also, they are doing great things for the industry (with a superb company ethos) and I'm very pleased to be a small part of their movement! www.charnerochford.com Priority booking for the If Opera 2023 season opens on Friday 24 March.

She is playing Fedora in Fedora at Belcombe Court in Bradford on Avon. Who inspires you and why? Women of all walks of life inspire me. Women of the past. The women in my life. Women from other cultures and different centuries. Everyone has an incredible story to tell and I have the honour of telling some of those stories in my work. What's amazing is that there are elements of all the characters I sing that could easily relate to women all throughout history, all throughout the world. What is your favourite piece of music to sing? Anything with some intense suffering. I know that sounds crazy! But I find that the music that pours out of composers in times of a character's struggle is so intoxicatingly stunning in contrast. It feels incredible marrying the two together in front of an audience. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I can't wait!! This music is gorgeous, the story has so many fabulous challenges as an actress, and I am delighted to see what wonderful colleagues I will be working with! I only fear the time will pass too quickly - so I'll be making the most of it! www.skyingram.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/b0322960-1e52-45df-b517-cc034a55d029/Bethany.jpg News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Sky, Bethany and Aidan - Bethany Horak-Hallett This year British mezzo soprano Bethany Horak-Hallett performs as Brat/Tweedle Dum, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at Belcombe Court and Laura in Iolanta at Wiltshire Music Centre, both in Bradford on Avon. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? When I first heard the incredible chorus ‘Weg, weg mit dem, kreuzige’ from Bach’s St John Passion. It’s such a thrilling, visceral moment, and I was completely enthralled the moment I heard it. Who inspires you and why? I take great inspiration from my mother. She is a strong, inquisitive, and endlessly supportive person, and I take great inspiration from her curiosity and passion. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I’m very excited to delve into some really interesting and varied stories and characters. One of the great things about being an ensemble member is we get to be involved in multiple shows, work with multiple creative teams, and explore lots of stories. I think it will be a really enriching experience because of this. www.bethanyhorakhallett.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/b2b9d4bf-0fb9-47b5-a9b1-6c01382396d6/Aidan+Smith.png News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Sky, Bethany and Aidan - Aidan Smith Aidan Smith is a British bass. This year he is performing as Gretch in Fedora at Belcombe Court and King René in Iolanta at the Wiltshire Music Centre. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? When I went for my Trinity audition and I could hear people warming up and having lessons it made me want to go there… that was the moment when I decided I wanted to sing. Who inspires you and why? So many people: Brindley Sherratt, Gerald Finley, Natalie Dessay, Alexander Kipnis, Stephen King (amazing man!), Tony Pappano, Robin Williams, the list is huge! The singers inspire because of their paths and how they perform, Tony Pappano because he’s such a perfectionist and a great musician. He also commands such intense focus. Stephen King for his storytelling talent but also for his dedication to his work despite health problems. Robin Williams for his comic timing and sincerity in everything he did. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer?

He will be playing Des Siriex in Fedora and March Hare in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland both at Belcombe Court and Robert in Iolanta at the Wiltshire Music Centre. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? During my teens I sang in a rock band; my friends were not happy with my contribution so I enlisted in a music school to try to improve my singing. My teacher understood the problem, recognised a certain quality in my voice and started training me as a classical singer. Soon afterwards, a “Eureka moment” came to me and I fell in love with opera: this led to formal studies at the Rostov Conservatoire and early engagements with the Rostov State Opera & Ballet Theatre. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I read with interest about If Opera’s vision and innovative approach to attracting audiences to an art form often perceived as “something rare and impenetrable”, as well as the aim in making performances affordable to more people. At a time of concern about the cost of living crisis, global warming and war, there is even more need for people to escape into inspiring performances of opera. I greatly look forward to meeting this season’s cast, and the team at If Opera and to singing with the company. Apart from singing, what else do you love to do? My free time is limited and when there are no opera engagements I do different jobs to maintain my family. Parental duties are very important and bring great joy. When time permits I love exploring and researching new repertoire, listening to different genres of music and playing the guitar. Anything mechanical is of interest: I love fixing and riding motorbikes. The environment and the need to support initiatives that tackle climate change are also important issues for me. www.gusevalexey.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/4102c5fa-637b-4bcf-a68b-fdba6e6f0cea/Lara+Muller.jpeg News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Alexey, Lara and Emyr - Lara Marie Müller Lara Marie Müller is a British/German soprano based in London. This summer she performs as Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at Belcombe Court and Brigitte in Iolanta at the Wiltshire Music Centre. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? I didn't start music college until I was in my early 20's. I left school wanting to be an actress and prior to music college, I completed the foundation course in acting at Oxford School of Drama. It was through theatre that I came to singing and it remains a huge part of how I perform. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? It's so great to be back this year after being part of the inaugural season. I'm so excited to be performing the role of Alice - the setting of Belcombe court will make the most magical wonderland! Apart from singing, what else do you love to do? During the Covid pandemic, when all theatres were boarded up and the world of performing arts came to a halt I set up a micro-bakery from my flat in London. I started by baking sourdough and pastry for my neighbours which very quickly expanded to my local community. I ended up baking every weekend for a good year and half. I now bake less frequently but still manage the odd bake when I'm in between singing projects.

Who inspires you and why? I am very aware of the inspiration I get from my family, and the way they have helped me or the way they have adapted themselves from various things we have faced either individually or collectively. I am a very proud uncle to three young children who are brilliant; they know so little, and have no care or pre-conceived idea to the world. I try and think of that in new jobs or new situations, the dreaded "first day" syndrome never wears off, and so little things however silly can help you to think "It's fine!". Specifically, in singing I would have to take the opportunity to say I was so fortunate to learn for over a decade with the late baritone Eric Roberts. Not a week went by where he wouldn't say something that wouldn't draw my attention, whether an anecdote or an "Eric-ism" which would be a piece of wisdom or advice he gave that I can assure you I'll never forget. What is your favourite piece of music to sing? There are so many songs I wish I could sing but they're too high, or I just sit in my car dejected I can't sound like them! How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I am so excited to work with If Opera this year. Having so many friends work with them previously, I was almost jealous of their experience! I'm thrilled and intrigued to see up close the work Michael [Volpe] and the whole team are doing to better the sustainability of the opera industry and its accessibility. Undoubtedly it's an easy sell when you have a good audition experience, you get the job, and then you find out who else will be with you and you can't help but feel enthusiastic to create and catch up with everyone. It's going to be a lovely way to close out the summer in beautiful Wiltshire. www.emyrwynjones.co.uk https://www.ifopera.com/news-views-reviews/meet-the-ensemble-l-d-m monthly 0.5 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/da51637d-7be2-446d-a75c-fbfebaa162ae/Lorena+2.jpg News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Lorena, Dan and Monica - Lorena Paz Nieto Spanish soprano Lorena Paz Nieto will play Olga in Fedora and the Duchess/Bottle in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland both at Belcombe Court this summer. Who inspires you and why? So many people in so many ways. As a former social worker, I am still inspired by a lot of the people I met and worked with, I often think of them and remember their stories. It's very important to me, and I think it helps give me a sense of perspective. What is your favourite piece of music to sing? Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro has always been my absolute favourite, I was lucky enough to sing the role for the first time last summer. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I am so glad to be returning to work with such an exciting company, and I am also really looking forward to returning to Belcombe. Last year it was such a pleasure to work in and enjoy such incredible surroundings, and the local hosts I stayed with were so kind and welcoming. www.lorenapaznieto.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/235553b2-91a7-4db9-a1e3-45db3dec92b5/Da+D%27Souza_IF+Opera.jpg News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Lorena, Dan and Monica - Dan D’Souza Dan D'Souza is an Irish-British baritone based in London. This season he plays Cirillo/Boroff in Fedora, Rabbit in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at Belcombe Court and Ebn-Hakia in Iolanta at the Wiltshire Music Centre. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? I had an unusual introduction to opera as the first time I heard one was while onstage at the Royal Opera House. I was part of the children’s chorus for the most amazing production of Pagliacci featuring Domingo, Gheorghiu, Hvorostovsky etc. As well as the inevitable musical epiphany I just had so much fun running around onstage and got to skip lessons to hang out with my friends, and most importantly at the time, girls. Singing slowly took over my life from then on. What is your favourite piece of music to sing? My favourite piece of music is Meine Dunklen Hände by the German composer Hermann Reutter. In 1957 he set poems by Langston Hughes and Arna Bontemps, writers of the Harlem Renaissance, and they are beautifully harrowing. How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I’m really looking forward to this summer. The operas we’re doing are so much fun and I’m looking forward to working with lots of great friends, and especially my wife Beth [Bethany Horak-Hallett]. www.dandsouza.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/a770bcab-0191-4fb8-8f81-33a4d2efddf6/Monica.JPG News, Views & Reviews - Meet the Ensemble - Lorena, Dan and Monica - Monica McGhee Monica McGhee is a Scottish Soprano. She will play Iolanta in Iolanta at the Wiltshire Music Centre and Humpty Dumpty/Dormouse in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at Belcombe Court. When did you know you wanted to become a singer? I either wanted to be an Olympic gymnast or a singer, (clearly a show off of a child) and when I didn’t make a national squad by the age of 12 it was clear that singing would be the one! How do you feel about performing with If Opera this summer? I am so excited to be part of this team, it’s a wonderful cast of creatives and I really do feel honoured to be a part of it. I have some friends in the casts so it’s always lovely to get to work with your friends, and also get the chance to meet lovely new colleagues. Apart from singing, what else do you love to do? I have recently returned to gymnastics after a rather long hiatus so I’m enjoying tumbling again. I also do a bit of composing - I’m currently writing a Song Cycle of Scots songs based on the works of Scottish female poets, Robert Burns has been celebrated long enough and it’s time to honour some other wonderful poets. www.monicamcghee.co.uk https://www.ifopera.com/news-views-reviews/why-pull-a-rarely-performed-work-like-giordanos-fedora-out-of-the-back-of-the-operatic-wardrobe monthly 0.5 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/b8fb4b1c-01b9-4c6c-88c4-5aa4df01c272/Screenshot+2022-11-24+at+15.51.48.jpg News, Views & Reviews - Why pull a rarely performed work like Giordano’s Fedora out of the back of the operatic wardrobe? - Well, first, quite simply because it’s a cracker of an opera, rich in lush melody and full of dramatic intrigue. It’s based on a play by the French dramatist Victorien Sardou, who also wrote La Tosca, the literary source for Puccini’s famous opera. Sardou was renowned as an exponent of the so-called ‘well-made play’, a genre characterised by taut, compelling narratives. Fedora’s world is one of high drama, with its themes of adultery, revenge, assassination and suicide – the classic stuff of opera. https://www.ifopera.com/news-views-reviews/the-arbuturian-reviews-la-rondine monthly 0.5 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/bac47d93-e628-4cc4-b24e-79f173bd54f5/Screenshot+2022-09-20+at+07.46.59.png News, Views & Reviews -

Paul and Caroline Weiland - If Opera are hosted at the magnificent Belcombe Court by Paul and Caroline Weiland, and film director Paul is responsible for some of the most iconic advertisements in British Television history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/1660573539870-LMKFY056O8FMC5UPYVI6/Screenshot%2B2022-06-12%2Bat%2B14.56.37.png News, Views & Reviews - Paul and Caroline Weiland - Paul’s love of the visual aesthetic is seen to great effect in the more than thirty-year restoration of Belcombe Court, a gorgeous estate above Bradford On Avon. The grounds and house have been lovingly restored, every view carefully composed (like a film director perhaps?) and it is of course where If Opera are holding the 2022 festival after similar events in 2019 and 2021. Paul and Caroline essentially enabled Iford Arts (as it was in 2019 and 2021) to continue after moving out of its established home at Iford Manor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/504bf0b6-cec4-4ebd-bef8-7c211522f57c/Pagliacci.jpg News, Views & Reviews - Paul and Caroline Weiland - “Having been to Iford Manor a few times, I knew about the company but I am not a serious opera fan. I just felt that like all cultural endeavours these days, we ought to help it survive and flourish,” he says. “You know, I’m a caretaker here, we are passing through. I could close the gates and not let anybody in but we got to a point where we thought we should share this place a bit. People are really respectful too. I think I only ever found one wine bottle cork on the lawns and I realised it was mine!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/2ac13ff4-bc96-496f-a6b5-c3036a191573/Screenshot+2022-08-29+at+09.34.00.png News, Views & Reviews - Paul and Caroline Weiland - “A lady approached me recently and said ‘oh you will turn on the lights on the house won’t you? That is such a precious memory for me’. Suddenly I felt really guilty about not doing it. And it has been strange seeing hundreds of photographs of my house across social media!” It is true to say that because Belcombe has not been accessible to the public, Paul and Caroline’s hosting of If Opera has been like unveiling a newly mined, precious jewel to the world for the first time and its impact has been extraordinary. https://www.ifopera.com/news-views-reviews/perfect-day-out-bath-bradfordonavon monthly 0.5 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a76e2ba3f13305c46d383/82a21bbe-12e0-40f1-94f2-35407b7ebc20/Day+From+Gainsborough+with+guests+1+%28Terrace+Bar%29.jpeg News, Views & Reviews -
