Kát’a Kabanová 2009 Audience Reactions

Our next opera will be a revival of Olivia Fuchs's critically-acclaimed 2009 production of Kát’a Kabanová. It's going to be an amazing show, but don't just take our word for it, have a look at our Audience Reactions from the production when it premiered.

And it's all come around so quickly! Our final production, Leoncavallo's rare opera, Zazà, is in the rehearsal room. We caught up with Director Marie Lambert and two of our principals, Anne Sophie Duprels and Richard Burkhard along with the rest of the team last week.
