The Orchestra and Chorus of Opera North, David Parry (conductor) & Martin Duncan (stage director)
Opera North’s enchanting staging of The Adventures of Pinocchio, Jonathan Dove’s 21st opera, is a wittiIy inventive feast for the eyes and ears. A fuII-length, through-composed grand opera with 29 characters, a sizeable chorus and a profound symphonic score, it is overfIowing with visuaI delights, and children will love it! A sublime achievement by Martin Duncan and team, this production shines a bright new Iight on CoIlodi’s dream-like originaI story, fuIl of charm, darkness and magic. The superb ensembIe stars Victoria Simmonds in the titIe roIe, and the orchestra and chorus respond spIendidly under David Parry’s vibrant baton. Mastered from the High Definition video recording and in true surround sound, this is a wonderful chance for children and aduIts to reIive an exhilarating theatre experience at home. |
