Puccini - the film director who never was?
Alessandro Talevi, in collaboration with Hashtag Opera, presents a week-long workshop culminating in a staged performance of Tosca. The focus of this project will be to highlight Puccini’s own stage directions and examine whether his musical style may be called a precursor to film composition before the dawn of cinema.
Singers will benefit from detailed dramatic coaching and have the opportunity to perform their work for an audience.
The workshop will run during the week of 24th November - Christ Church Davyhulme.
There will be a workshop performance of the opera in it's entirety at Chorlton Central Church on Friday, 28th November, from 3-6pm. To attend, please email [email protected].
*please note that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the planned public performance of Tosca on Saturday, 29th November, at St Clements has been replaced with a gala concert by members of the Hashtag Opera Co company.*
