British Youth Opera: English Eccentrics

By Malcolm Williamson
Libretto by Geoffrey Dunn based on the book by Edith Sitwell

Roles: Dr Katterfelto, Lord Rokeby, Alderman Birch, Lord Rothschild, Mr Worrall and Etienne

In this rarely performed chamber piece we meet hermits, quacks, mariners, indefatigable travellers, and men of learning. Peopled with – as the title suggests – the most absurd of English eccentricity, this is a glorious gallery of the extremes of human nature, portrayed with humour, sympathy, knowledge, and love.
