The Classical Opera Company's dedication to nurturing outstanding young artists will be at the heart of its residencies at Kings Place. The first concert explores two famous highlights from Mozart opera - Tamino's opening aria from Die Zauberflöte and the duet, ‘Là ci darem la mano' from Don Giovanni; then some glorious arias from Haydn's neglected operatic output (including L'Incontro improvviso, Die Feuersbrunst and La vera constanza); next an exploration of Mozart's three operas written for Milan in the early 1770s - Mitridate, Re di Ponto, Ascanio in Alba and Lucio Silla; and finally company singers are joined by members of the period-instrument orchestra for a selection of Handel's early cantatas.
Soloists include Sophie Bevan, Ruby Hughes, Rebecca Ryan (sopranos), Sigríður Ósk Kristjánsdóttir (mezzo soprano), Allan Clayton (tenor), George von Bergen (baritone), accompanied by Ian Page (Artistic Director).
