Semi-festival links up with Opera North

Semi-festival links up with Opera North

The countryhouse opera festival at Nevill Holt, which was severely shrunk last summer, has formed a five-year partnership with the regional opera company to improve its future offer. Up to a point.

Here’s the gist:
A brand-new five-year partnership with Opera North will see in its first year a witty and romantic production of Mozart’s much-loved Così Fan Tutte. This co-production will run in Nevill Holt’s spectacular theatre from 6-8 and 10-12 June. The partnership with Opera North will continue in future editions of the festival.

Founder, David Ross said: “We are hugely excited to announce this long term partnership with Opera North. It secures a sustainable relationship between Nevill Holt and this world class opera company that will bring innovative and exceptional new operatic productions to the festival for at least five years. The partnership will allow us to celebrate young talent and give that talent a platform to shine in the amazing surroundings of Nevill Holt.”

General Director, Opera North, Laura Canning said: “We’re very excited to be entering into a five-year partnership with Nevill Holt Festival, enabling us to bring our award-winning work to this inspiring festival in the stunning surroundings of the Leicestershire countryside.
