The Ivors Academy has announced Jonathan Dove's opera Itch has been nominated in the Best Stage Work category for the 2024 Classical Ivors Awards. Adapted from Simon Mayo’s best-selling novels, Itch and Itch Rocks, this is an element-hunting thriller spliced with brilliant operatic set pieces, big emotions, and a soundworld that speaks of dangerous treasures.
With a libretto by Alastair Middleton, the opera was commissioned by James Clutton for Opera Holland Park with support from the Canadian Opera Company. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday 12 November at BFI Southbank in London, where 11 Ivor Novello Awards will be presented to eight category winners and three Gift of the Academy award winners. Details about all nominees across the categories can be viewed on The Ivors Academy website. Comments are closed.
