English Touring Opera presents The Siege of Calais by Donizetti

Event Date: 
22/03/2013 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Northcott Theatre, Exeter

What does it mean to be a citizen? What is it that a citizen owes to his city, or country? This is the question posed by Donizetti’s rarely performed epic The Siege of Calais (L’assedio di Calais) – a ‘serious’ opera, sung in Italian, constructed of bel canto arias and ensembles of extraordinary quality.

It is the story of the burghers of Calais (depicted by Rodin in his famous sculpture outside the Houses of Parliament), citizens who offer up their lives to save their city from a besieging army. Their sacrifice is quiet, ordinary, sublime – and it culminates in one of the most...

21/03/2013 - 7:30pm to 23/03/2013 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Northcott Theatre, Exeter

ETO’s first new Verdi production for several years is Simon Boccanegra – a mature masterpiece, and an intimate drama uniquely suited to venues like Exeter Northcott Theatre.

The composer’s musical depiction of the shimmering Mediterranean is wonderful. So too are the characters he creates, from the rough-hewn buccaneer-turned-ruler (the title...
