The Groucho Club Opera Treat - 13 Jun 2007

We are thrilled to announce an opportunity for The SaVVy Club members to unite with the Groucho Club for a trip to the English National Opera to see a performance of ‘Death in Venice’. 

Award-winning director Deborah Warner returns to ENO for the Company's first-ever staging of Britten's last opera, Death in Venice, a moving summation of the composer's life work that was inspired by Thomas Mann's famous novella.

Making his debut in the lead role is the popular British tenor Ian Bostridge, while Peter Coleman-Wright takes on the multiple baritone roles. Britten's seductive score, a musical tour de force, is conducted by Edward Gardner in his much-anticipated debut as ENO's new Music Director.

The performance will be followed by supper back at The Groucho Club where we hope to be joined by someone terrific from the ENO.
