Following Garsington Opera for All\u2019s<\/strong><\/span> successful second year of free public screenings on beaches, river banks and parks in isolated coastal and rural communities, Handel\u2019s sparkling masterpiece Semele <\/em>will be screened in four areas across the UK in 2017. Free events are programmed for Skegness<\/strong> (1 July),\u00a0 Ramsgate<\/strong> (22 July), Bridgwater<\/strong> (29 July) and Grimsby<\/strong> (11 October).\u00a0 In each location a large-scale programme of education and outreach work is firmly integrated with the free public screenings and will provide ground-breaking opportunities for communities to be involved in creating, learning about, and performing opera.\u00a0 Semele<\/em> will also have a free public screening as part of Oxford<\/strong> Festival of the Arts (1 July) and\u00a0 Garsington Opera’s 2016 production of Tchaikovsky\u2019sEugene Onegin <\/em>will be screened this year at the Buckingham<\/strong> Film Place community cinema (17 June).<\/p>\n

Opera for All is a programme which challenges expectation by uncovering the ingredients and foundation of opera – drama, music, story-telling and expressive emotion. \u00a0In 2016 Opera for All worked with 25 schools, reached 1,000 young people, working directly with artists in residencies, and provided skills development for 50 teachers. Over 2,500 people attended the opera screenings. For the students in each location, the experience of working alongside a team of professional artists to create and perform their own pieces in response to the opera was transformative.\u00a0 For many it was their first experience of live professional singing and evaluation of the project has shown significant positive impact on confidence and social cohesion<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Strategic Touring Fund.\u00a0 As a result of this partnership an online network \u2013 the Coastal Culture Network \u2013 has been formed.<\/p>\n

Semele <\/em><\/strong>–<\/em> a love story in which the god Jupiter (performed by British tenor Robert Murray) is captivated by the beauty of the all-too-human Semele (sung by\u00a0 Heidi Stober making her UK debut).\u00a0 It features some of Handel\u2019s most exquisitely beautiful music, with soaring choruses and splendid orchestral writing.<\/p>\n
