Since there are only 3 more performances, let me bang a drum for Die Rheinnixen from @gothicopera.bsky.social . Musically outstanding with so much rich, splendid, non-comic Offenbach to relish.
Not to be missed, say I, and when was I ever wrong? #HostageToFortune

Are there still discoveries to be made about Jacques Offenbach (born OTD 1819)? More than you might think.

On the trail of Offenbach: interview with Jean-Christophe Keck
Are there still discoveries to be made about Offenbach? More than you might think. The mastermind of the Offenbach Edition Keck tells us how things are, 200 years after the composer's birth.

“enterprising Gothic Opera whose Der Vampyr was a comically camp revival at Grimeborn, followed in the autumn by an atmospheric Maria de Rudenz within the distressed walls of Battersea Arts Centre. In the title role, Daniella Sicari offered superb bel canto singing”

The critics were unanimous! Here is a small selection of some of the press coverage we received for our triple Offie-nominated production of Donizetti's epic opera Maria de Rudenz.

PICK OF THE YEAR (CHAMBER) It was the year Gothic Opera came of age wit not one but two crackers. After DER VAMPYR, hilarious and blood-soaked, they upped sticks to Battersea Arts Centre with Donizetti’s MARIA DE RUDENZ. Superbly lit by Luca Panetta, it oozed atmosphere and class. 4/6
