European Opera Centre: The School for Fathers

O akci

Enjoy the wonderful comic opera "I Quattro Rusteghi" (The School for Fathers) by Wolf‐Ferrari with soloists from the European Opera Centre, directed by Bernard Rozet with the RLPO under the baton of Vasily Petrenko.

Four stupid old men, a boy disguised as a girl, and a shed‐load of great tunes. Wolf‐Ferrari’s I Quattro Rusteghi might just be the most brilliant comic opera you’ve never heard! Take a generous dose of Italian farce, throw in a spoonful of Gilbert & Sullivan, add a splash of Puccini: you’ll soon realise why Gustav Mahler was one of Wolf‐Ferrari’s greatest fans. For this semi‐staged performance, Vasily Petrenko and the Orchestra are joined by sparky young soloists from the European Opera Centre – and if you saw their uproarious performance of Wolf‐Ferrari’s Susanna’s Secret and Mendelssohn’s The Wedding of Camacho in recent seasons, you’ll be ready for an evening of unbeatable operatic fun. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

Choose from the wide variety of high‐calibre concerts offered in Liverpool this season.
