 Glyndebourne has announced its 2025 festival, alongside a new community opera by Jonathan Dove and Angel Angelis. Uprising looks at the climate emergency through the eyes of those whom it will affect the most. Taking place on the main stage, the opera will feature more than 100 local amateur performers, including around 80 young people aged 14-19, being recruited from across Sussex this summer. A mother, a daughter and a time of turmoil, we discover how the bonds of family love survive when the planet faces a climate disaster. The community participants appear alongside six professional singers and musicians from the Glyndebourne Sinfonia in a production directed by Sinead O’Neill and conducted by Andrew Gourlay.
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra will then stage the Scottish premiere in Edinburgh and Glasgow on 28 and 29 March 2025. Comments are closed.
