Boys sing in Krol Roger at Royal Opera House
The Schola trebles and altos are currently singing in the Royal Opera's production of Krol Roger.
This is the first time that the Royal Opera has staged this extraordinary work by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski.
The production is by Kasper Holten and the performances are being conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano.
The boys sing in the first act, singing promnently at the start which is set in Palermo Cathedral, and throughout the act at various points. The staging of the opening act is dominated by a giant head that sits centre stage throughout.
The opera is sung in Polish which has made for its own particular challenges in the preparation, although we are lucky to have several Polish speakers in the choir who have been able to help with the pronunciation!
The Royal Opera has released this short video trailer for the production.
The reviews for the first night last Friday have been excellent, with many references to the magical opening in which the boys play such an important part.
