Fulham Opera present Verdi's Simon Boccanegra.
This is a great chance to see a Verdi work that is almost never performed outside the major houses. Fiona Williams' uncompromising take on this complex work will be sung in Italian with English surtitles, with Ben Woodward conducting his own 12 piece orchestral reduction.
Having established themselves as one of the UK's leading fringe opera companies, this year Fulham Opera are launching a Young Artists' Programme, with a performance on Friday 18th March.
