Exeter Northcott - English Touring Opera - Spring Season
A season of classcial operas from the world renowned English Touring Opera Company in the Exeter Northcott theatre.
The Spring 2012 season will feature two of the most popular operas in the repertorire:
The Barber of Seville - Rossini : 20th, 22nd and 23rd March
(New Production)
Effervescent, high-spirited, vocally brilliant, a work of comic genius: Rossini's masterpiece The Barber of Seville is a favourite with audiences around the world. ETO's new production, directed by the exciting and imaginative Thomas Guthrie and conducted by an experienced master of Italian opera, Paul McGrath, promises to be one of the highlights of the artistic calendar in 2012.
The roguish young Count Almaviva, masquerading as the student Lindoro, will be sung by Nicholas Sharratt, one of the UK's most promising Italianate tenors. Kitty Whately, winner of this year’s Kathleen Ferrier Award, plays his beloved Rosina, as cunning as she is lovely.

Eugene Onegin - Tchaikovsky : 21st, and 24th March
(revival of ETO's 2007 production)
Running time: 2 hrs 33 mins
ETO’s production of Tchaikovsky's romantic classic Eugene Onegin received critical acclaim and popular ovations around the country in 2007. ETO Director James Conway and Conductor Michael Rosewell return to this striking production with a new cast, including emerging star Nicholas Lester in the title role.
With its heartfelt arias and ensembles, its splendid choruses and ballroom scenes, and Tchaikovsky's gift for melody, rich orchestration and drama, Eugene Onegin is a night at the opera for romantics of all ages. Sung in English Translation
