Zaïde
- a Mozartian ticket offer for members
|
|
|
|
Zaïde was
written in 1779-80 and lies between Il
Re Pastore and Idomeneo
in Mozart’s operatic output. The work includes Zaïde’s meltingly beautiful
aria Ruhe sanft.
The comparative neglect of the work is due to the fact that both score
and story are clearly incomplete.
The Classical Opera
Company’s new production includes a score completed by Mozart
specialist Ian Page with contemporaneous music written by Mozart. Poet
Michael Symmons Roberts has written a new English translation of the sung
text, and the dialogue is being created by playwright Ben Power in
collaboration with director Melly Still.
London performances take place on Thursday 24 and Saturday 26 June 2010,
7.30pm at Sadler's Wells, Rosebery Avenue, London EC1. Phone the box office
on 0844 412 4300 and quote 'Making
Music Group 20% Off Zaïde' to take advantage of this discounted ticket
offer.

Musical shares - artists for you?

The Concert Promoters' Network 2011/12 brochure will be ready
for circulation before the end of May.
There is the usual good choice of fees from a harpist charging
£350 to a top-range string quartet with a reduced fee of £1,800. Many
styles are available, from Pantagruel
(early music) to Liquid
Architecture (strings and wind) and Juice (exciting vocal group).
It takes just two members anywhere in the UK to book an artist
in the brochure and the price comes down for both members. If six members
book the price reduces for everyone by, on average this year, nearly 24%.
