A full staging of Spanish Catalan composer Xavier Montsalvatge’s charming first opera, performed by the Jette Parker Young Artists and combined with a concert performance of Berio's Folk Songs.
Background
The rising stars of The Royal Opera’s Jette Parker Young Artists Programme present Xavier Montsalvatge’s delightful El gato con botas. Based on Charles Perrault’s well-known fairytale, the opera follows the adventures of a wily cat who decides to transform the fortunes of his impoverished master. It is performed alongside a concert performance of Berio’s Folk Songs.
The production is a highlight of Meet the Young Artists Week at the Royal Opera House, which provides a chance to see the future faces of opera in the intimate settings of the Linbury Studio Theatre. The week’s activities also include a diverse programme of free recitals and a chance to meet the Artists in person.
