Ravel Double Bill - Live Opera from Glyndebourne
Sunday 19th August
This production of Ravel’s only two one-act operas will reunite director Laurent Pelly and conductor Kazushi Ono, who made their Glyndebourne debuts in 2008 with Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel. While L’enfant et les Sortilèges shares with that opera a child’s-eye view of a sometimes threatening world, L’heure Espagnole is a thoroughly adult confection.
Stéphanie d’Oustrac, who last sang at Glyndebourne as Sesto in Giulio Cesare, will sing Concepción, while Canadian baritone Elliot Madore will make his UK and Glyndebourne debut as Ramiro.
