BBC Arts Online is enabling Garsington Opera to reach a wider audience. Short clips of their 2015 production of Così fan tutte are now available to view at http://bbc.in/1VOILjc . Later in the month their acclaimed production of Eugene Onegin, currently in repertoire, will be available.
Eugene Onegin will be screened to Skegness (2 July), Ramsgate (23 July), Bridgewater (20 August) and Grimsby (30 September) as part of the Garsington Opera for All programme. In each location a large-scale programme of education and outreach work is firmly integrated with the digital free public screenings and provides ground breaking opportunities for communities to be involved in creating, learning about, and performing opera.
Opera for All is a three-year partnership project between Garsington Opera, the charitable trust Magna Vitae, and the Coastal Communities Alliance, and is supported by Arts Council England’s Strategic Touring Fund.
Nicola Creed, Executive Director of Garsington Opera said: We are delighted to be making opera available free of charge potentially to thousands of people. This is an important addition to our outreach programme and we are thrilled to be launching opera from Wormsley on BBC Arts Online.
