"West Riding Opera - The society has collaborated in professional operatic concert performances and also promoted concerts by the Northern Philharmonic Orchestra until the latter's disbandment in the early 1950s. West Riding Opera has been producing fully staged operas at the Civic Theatre since 1954. The first, Smetana's 'The Bartered Bride', was conducted by W. Lles Pulford and produced by Anthony Besch. In 1956, a triple bill comprising Menottis's 'The Telephone', Schubert's 'The Conspirators' and Bizet's 'Doctor Miracle' was produced. Other rarities, some of which have been given their first Northern performances by WRO include: Quilter's 'Love at the Inn', Vaughan William's 'Hugh the Drover', Lalo's 'Le Roi d'Ys', Bellini's 'Il Pirata', Marschner's 'The Vampire', Berlioz' 'Beatrice and Benedict', Lortzing's 'The Poacher', Delibes' 'Lakme' and Gounod's 'Mireille'. Martin Binks has been conductor and artistic director of the society since 1969." source http://www.leodis.org/ |
