HGO, north London’s leading opera company, presents a fully-staged production, with orchestra and fabulous young opera singers and children, of Janáček’s timeless and enchanting opera.
Captured when young by the Forester, and brought up by him as a pet, Sharp-Ears escapes back to the wild – but her life continues to interplay with that of the Forester and his friends the pastor, the schoolmaster and the poacher – and a handsome young fox.
Sung in the original Czech, with full English surtitles. HGO is delighted to have as production director the talented Eleanor Burke, and as music director the Czech conductor Lada Valešová. As always our casts are tomorrow’s opera stars, and we are thrilled to have local children taking the parts of the woodland creatures.
The production is suitable for all ages.
Tickets are available for young people aged 5-15 for £10 across all performances. Children must be accompanied by a full-ticket paying adult. (maximum 2 children per accompanying adult)
Student tickets are available for £15 for performances on the 6, 9, 10 and 11 November.
Ticket holders can also receive a digital programme by email in advance of the performance which can be downloaded and printed if desired. To receive this, please ensure to grant us consent to pass your details to HGO directly.
