Martha or The Fair at Richmond by Friedrich von Flotow
About
Flotow's famous romantic opera Martha is given a long overdue revival in this new production that salutes the touring companies of Victoria's Gold Rush era. Lady Harriett is bored with court life and with her friend Nancy, devises a scheme to join the common folk at the local fair. But the scheme goes awry when they find themselves hired as servants to Plunkett and his foster brother Lyonel. The glorious score is full of instantly recognisable arias, including The Last Rose of Summer. Directed by Jamie Moffat with Musical Direction by Pamela Christie, the cast features celebrated tenor Paul Biencourt as Lyonel, Michael Lampard as Plunkett, Katy Turbitt as Lady Harriett and Maria Woolford as Nancy, with Troy Castle as Lord Mickelford. Lyster Opera favourites Adelaide Soccio Greenaway, Mandy Lyn Brook, Angelique Tot and Joshua Morton-Galea are joined by emerging artists Sofia Imeratore, Metehan Pektas, Nicholas Sheppard and Noah Straughan.Location
