L’occasione fa il ladro – Rossini
Start date: August 12, 2021
End date: August 15, 2021
Location: Holland Park
Part of British Youth Opera’s guest season at Opera Holland Park
An arranged marriage. A sitcom-style luggage mix up. Swapped identities. Falling in love while in disguise. L’occasione fa il ladro has it all – it’s crammed full of classic comedy opera tropes but manages to still be funny. Like genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.
British Youth Opera is a training programme for young professionals. All participants onstage and behind the scenes, from singers to stage management, are at the beginning of their careers in opera.
Cast on 12th & 14th August
Anna Cooper – Ernestina
