SUMMARY:Tarquinius: The Rape of Lucretia – English Touring Opera
DESCRIPTION:Kieran stars as the villain Tarquinius in English Touring Opera’s new production of the charged and cathartic opera\, The Rape of Lucretia. \nA group of bored soldiers decide to test the loyalty of the wives they have left behind at home\, unleashing a cruel and reckless series of events that have shattering consequences. \nBenjamin Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia was written in the aftermath of the Second World War and reflects a world struggling to remake itself after enormous suffering and destruction. It remains a brutally relevant and chilling exploration of the abuse of power\, shot through with glimmers of hope for a better world\, with a beautiful\, sparse score for just thirteen players showing beauty and lyricism wrestling with the forces of darkness. \nETO Artistic Director & CEO Robin Norton-Hale directs and Music Director Gerry Cornelius conducts\, reuniting after their critically acclaimed production of Judith Weir’s Blond Eckbert in 2024. \n \n \nTickets: https://englishtouringopera.org.uk/productions/the-rape-of-lucretia.

SUMMARY:Gibaud: The Dowager’s Oyster
DESCRIPTION:The Dowager’s Oyster – An Operetta \nPresented by Cantata Dramatica\nMusic: Louis Mander\nLyrics: Jack Cherry & George Logan\nPerformance date: Thursday 8 th May\, 2025\nVenue: The Reform Club\, Pall Mall\, London\nProduction team\nMD – Louis Mander\nDirector – Peter Champness\nProducer/Designer – Louisa Petais \nThe Dowager’s Oyster is a comic operetta composed by Louis Mander with a\nlibretto by Jack Cherry. It premiered in 2016 at the Grimeborn Festival in\nLondon’s Arcola Theatre. The operetta is set in 1924\, blending murder mystery\nwith comedic farce\, often compared stylistically to Agatha Christie’s intrigue\nand the humor of Gilbert and Sullivan. The plot follows Lady Tindale (the\nDowager) and her daughter Cynthia as they travel to France for a holiday. The\ntrip is peppered with gossip\, misunderstandings\, and scandal involving\nCynthia’s fiancé\, Freddy\, who is secretly in Morocco with his lover. The story\ntakes a darker turn when the Dowager is murdered during a lunch\, leading to a\nwhodunnit investigation by Dr. Gibaud\, a pompous detective. The operetta\ncombines satire\, wit\, and social commentary\, making it a lighthearted yet\nsharp theatrical piece. Louis Mander’s composition received praise for its\nengaging musical style\, while the production was noted for its vibrant portrayal\nof 1920s settings and eccentric characters.

SUMMARY:Sorcerer: Dido & Aeneas – Waterperry Opera Festival
DESCRIPTION:Kieran will sing the villainous Sorcerer in Waterperry’s Double Bill of Dido & Aeneas and Acis & Galatea. \nAcis and Galatea. The ethereal nymph\, Galatea\, is in love with a youthful shepherd\, Acis. All seems serene\, until their love is threatened by the jealousy of the monstrous Polyphemus.

Treachery and sedition threaten to tear a nation and a marriage asunder. Directed by Guy Withers (Peter and the Wolf\, The Diary of One Who Disappeared)\, this beloved English operatic gem takes a dark turn in a bold new production. \n \n \nTickets: https://www.waterperryoperafestival.co.uk/acis-galatea-dido-aeneas.html.
