The Sibelius Academy Opera brings British and Italian opera to the stage


6 PHONE CALLS AND 1 DINNER

This double bill of mid-20th century operas provides a delightful evening of romance, wit and drama. 

Menotti’s short opera The Telephone depicts the attempts of Ben to propose to Lucy, repeatedly thwarted by her conversations on the telephone. He presents her with a gift, he prepares, and then… the phone rings! Why can’t Ben tell Lucy how he feels? Why is Lucy more excited by talking to an absent other rather than to the person right in front of her? This playful piece examines these questions through a fast-moving text and a tuneful score full of twists and turns. 

A Dinner Engagement by Lennox Berkeley is a tender comedy of manners, exploring the relationships of parents and their adult children. Full of nostalgia for their time in the fictional Grand Duchy of Monteblanco, Lord and Lady Dunmow are making the best of their reduced living situation in a small London flat. They have recruited the help of Mrs Kneebone, and are preparing for a visit by the Grand Duchess herself, accompanied by her son, Prince Philippe. The Dunmows hope that romance might blossom between the Prince and their daughter Susan, thus providing her with a life they themselves cannot give her. Featuring an exceptionally witty score with a huge variety of musical styles (plus food preparation live on stage!), this operatic meal is a real treat. 

The performance will be in English with Finnish subtitles.
