An entire Yorkshire village is staging a Handel opera
NewsThe Northern Aldborough Festival in North Yorkshire plans to engage the whole village in a summer production of Handel’s Theodora.
Countertenor Robert Ogden, the artistic director, was turned onto Theodora by Peter Sellars’ landmark production at Glyndebourne in 1996.
Welsh soprano Fflur Win will play the title role in a 40-strong production in the village’s St Andrew’s Church. Aldborough is mentioned in the Doomsday book of 1086. It was the `capital’ of the most powerful tribe in Britain during the Roman invasion, the Brigantes.
