Hampstead Garden Opera present the classic double bill of passion and revenge, Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci. In an exciting new concept developed by Bruno Ravella, both operas are presented as clearly staged performances, creating a reflection on performance, reality and pretence. This will be the world premiere of a new English translation for Cavalleria Rusticana by the eminent conductor David Parry.
Hampstead Garden Opera won the Off West End (Offies) Best Opera Production Award 2013 for its 2012 staging of Così fan tutte, and were finalists for the same award in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Offies.
