Taster Workshop - Mozart's 'Idomeneo'

---

In February 2027, Aylesbury Opera will be staging a production of

Mozart’s opera Idomeneo. With wonderful music and a compelling

narrative, Mozart aged only 25 demonstrates early mastery of the form.

Returning from defeating the Trojans, Idomeneo, king of Crete is saved

from being shipwrecked in a storm. In recognition of his being spared,

Idomeneo vows to offer a sacrifice to Neptune, God of the Sea, and this

will have profound consequences for both his people and him personally.

Join us for an introductory workshop in which will explore scenes from

the opera. We will rehearse the music, then set it dramatically. Led by

professionals Sam Laughton (Musical Director) and Antonida Kocharova

(Stage Director), the afternoon will introduce newcomers to the creative

process in a friendly and supportive environment.

Venue: Aylesbury Music Centre, Walton Road, Aylesbury, HP21 7ST.

Transport: Parking available in AMC car park. AMC is 10 minutes’ walk

from the railway station. Disabled access.

Tickets £10, including refreshments (children free). Sheet music

provided.
