MR. PUNCH AT THE OPERA Comes to the Arcola Theatre in August
This August will see the premiere of Mr Punch at The Opera at the Arcola Theatre. From The Opera Makers, this delightful and preposterous show is an interactive, pantomime-style adaptation of Pergolesi’s Renaissance opera La Serva Padrona, and is a fun (and short) way for children and families to access classical opera this summer.

Retelling of TURANDOT Comes to the Arcola This Summer
Puccini’s final unfinished opera, Turandot, will be revived at the Arcola this summer in a radical and confronting retelling. Spearheaded by a team of award-winning creatives and artists from the Asian diaspora, this unnervingly relevant reinterpretation tackles head-on the work’s orientalist tropes and reflects on the new role the Far East plays as a modern, technological superpower.

BWW Review: LA BOHEME, Trafalgar Studios
Stripped back and startlingly intimate, Puccini's great tunes are given full value by wonderful voices and sensational acting in a production that raises boutique operas to a new level.

Guest Blog: Becca Marriott On Studio Opera and LA BOHEME
What does performing opera in a studio space do to the art form to the artist? My relationship with this relatively new form of fringe opera or 'studio opera' - or 'in your face opera' or 'opera up close' - is twofold. I am a translator-librettist and adaptor, working with Adam Spreadbury-Maher, artistic director of the King's Head Theatre, to create new versions of popular operas; but also a singer and actress performing opera's iconic roles in intimate venues.

BWW Review: TOSCA, King's Head Theatre
Adam Spreadbury-Maher has a long history with the King's Head Theatre. As its Artistic Director and co-founder of OperaUpClose, he has overseen many successful opera productions, including The Coronation of Poppea and the multi award-winning La Boh me. Set in the tiny space behind the pub bar, every production has retained an intimacy that can only be achieved when the producer has neither the space nor the cash for bigger things. This remains a unique experience for the audience and showcases opera like nowhere else.
