Heart’s Delight: An evening of light music and operetta, Friday 7 August, 6pm
Last seen at Opera Holland Park conducting Wolf-Ferrari’s romantic comedy, Il segreto di Susanna, John Andrews has devised a journey through
some of the most delicious comic operas from the Viennese, Parisian and
London stages. Birdcatchers, gendarmes, lovers and policemen dance in and
out of music by Mozart, Offenbach, Sullivan, Strauss and Leh·r. Featuring
Yvonne Howard, John Savournin, Fflur Wyn, Robert Murray and Alison Langer,
with an ensemble of strings and woodwind from City of London Sinfonia, the
programme is the perfect apÈritif for a summer’s evening at Holland Park.
