Ahead of opening their all-singing, all-dancing production of Kiss Me, Kate at London's Coliseum on June 20th, Opera North today release their full- length West End trailer. Cole Porter's riotous homage to Shakespeare and irresistible celebration of the joy and madness of working in theatre features some of the greatest songs in American musical theatre including, Another Op'nin, Another Show, So In Love, Always True to You In My Fashion and Too Darn Hot.
Watch the trailer below!
Featuring a stunning cast of musical theatre and operatic talent, this is a rare opportunity to see this musical backed by full orchestra and chorus.
On the opening night of a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew in 1940s Baltimore, the tempestuous love lives of actor-manager Fred Graham and his leading lady (and ex-wife) Lilli Vanessi are set to collide. Throw in Fred's current paramour Lois Lane and her gambler boyfriend Bill - plus a couple of gun-toting gangsters who somehow get caught up in the show - and the stage is set for a funny and farcical battle of the sexes!
Cast includes: Quirijn de Lang as Fred Graham/ Petruchio, Stephanie Corley as Lilli Vanessi/ Katharine, Zoë Rainey as Lois Lane/ Bianca, and Alan Burkitt as Bill Calhoun/ Lucentio.
Opera North's award-winning production, directed by Jo Davies, features a sparkling cast of both international opera singers and West End stars, as well as the full Chorus and Orchestra of Opera North.
