COMMUNITY OPERA
FOR OUNDLE

An opportunity to take part in
Jonathan Dove's
TOBIAS & THE ANGEL

Please come and join us! This is a great opportunity if you love to sing and would like to work alongside professional singers - previous experience of singing is not necessary.

In July 2007 Oundle International Festival is putting on a production of this inspiring community opera. The composer, Jonathan Dove, will already be known to many local people for ‘In Search of Angels’ which he wrote for Peterborough Cathedral several years ago.

We need two choirs: one unison (which will appear on stage acting) and one SATB (which will be singing offstage). There is additionally an opportunity for three or four local experienced tenors or basses to take a more prominent role.

We shall also be looking for help with making costumes, set-build and lighting . If you would like to be involved, please contact us (see below).

The Director is Alastair Boag, Music Director Alexander Walker. All principal parts will be taken by professional singers from the recent English Touring Opera or Young Vic productions of Tobias, including Maureen Brathwaite, James Laing, Omar Ebrahim and Roderick Earle.

Rehearsals will take place in May, June and the early part of July, with performances on 15th, 17th and 18th July. Informal auditions will take place on 29th or 30th March in Oundle.
