SUMMARY:Victorian Opera presents: The Second Hurricane
DESCRIPTION:In a storm-ravaged American town\, a group of high school students offer their help to a nearby county before becoming stranded in the wake of a second hurricane. Through trial and tribulation\, the teenagers must learn to work together if they’re going to survive. \nAaron Copland’s work was originally written for students when it premiered in New York in 1937. Eighty years on\, The Second Hurricane makes its Victorian Opera debut as the company’s youth opera for 2017 as part of our Education Program. It will be performed by a cast of singers aged 15 – 25 together with students from Victorian Opera’s Youth Chorus Ensemble (VOYCE). \nThe opera will be directed by Libby Hill with Angus Grant as musical director. Copland’s youth opera tells an important parable of the reaffirmation of community through surviving the darkness of disaster. \nMusical Director Angus Grant\nDirector Libby Hill\nSet & Costumer Designer Candice MacAllister\nLighting Designer Eduard Ingles Sancho \nVictorian Opera Chamber Orchestra

SUMMARY:Victorian Opera presents: Cunning Little Vixen
DESCRIPTION:One of the great operatic masterpieces of the 20th century\, Leoš Janácek’s Cunning Little Vixen marvels at the beauty of nature and the process of renewal. This juxtaposition of human and animal life set in an idyllic forest follows the story of Vixen Sharpears: her youth\, journey to adulthood\, motherhood and death. \nIn a new production for Victorian Opera\, director Stuart Maunder AM is reunited with Tony Award-winning designer Roger Kirk following 2015’s acclaimed Sweeney Todd. Conductor Jack Symonds makes a welcome company debut and leads Jonathan Dove’s chamber orchestration of Janácek’s unique lyrical opera. Cunning Little Vixen is a profound work of genius and a reflection on the cycle of life. \nConductor Jack Symonds\nDirector Stuart Maunder AM\nCostume Designer Roger Kirk\nSet Designer Richard Roberts\nLighting Designer Trudy Dalgleish \nVixen Celeste Lazarenko\nFox Antoinette Halloran\nForrester Barry Ryan\nMrs Forrester/Owl Dimity Shepherd\nSchool Teacher/Mosquito Brenton Spiteri\nHaraster Samuel Dundas\nBadger/Parson Jeremy Kleeman \nVictorian Opera Chamber Orchestra
