How to make a sustainable opera
mainEngland’s Opera North announced its new season today.
Among the fine offerings is a new Alcina directed by Tim Albery which will also be our first sustainable production, using only recycled, re-used and second hand materials in its set, props and costumes.
Isn’t that what car delaers call ‘pre-loved’?
i think it’s great, but we all know that not opera houses but big companies should do this
Also being done at Glyndebourne, perhaps more expensively.
Ironically, most of the operas being performed everywhere consist of sustainable, recycled, reused music. And some of them use secondhand music.
Reardless of the recycling, a fantastic 20/21 programme just announced for Opera North. Omething for everyone, and particularly for those for whom any opera is the first time. Will be bringing folk to Traviata for sure – as I once did woth 38 to ENO’s Traviata. Ooera North is a wonderful company in Leeds, only £103 to see all the productions from the balcony, where I sit and hear everything too. Pay more if you want.
