Our performances of The Juniper Tree, by Philip Glass and Robert Moran in March 2017 will form part of the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames’ Music and Drama Festival.  These are expected to be high profile events as our performances represent the UK premiere for the opera, and this year is Glass’s 80^th birthday year. 

For The Juniper Tree we are showcasing young professionals including the outstanding Mariya Krywaniuk and James Corrigan. Children from Hampton School and Lady Eleanor Holles will also take part as well as ten-year old Lia Tynan, a pupil at St James’s Catholic Primary School who has sung at the Royal Opera House, and Angus Whitworth, head chorister at the Chapel Royal. We have a superb local community chorus and our director is Donna Stirrup (Glyndebourne Opera). Andy Langley is the conductor with an ensemble from The Royal College of Music. 

Not to be missed!
