Britten`s Church Parables
In June/July 2013, Mahogany Opera will celebrate the Britten centenary by presenting fully-staged performances of Britten’s three Church Parables; Curlew River, The Burning Fiery Furnace and The Prodigal Son at St Ekaterina’s Church in St Petersburg, Orford Church in Suffolk, St Mary’s Cathedral in Tokyo and Southwark Cathedral in London. The tour will open with a special one-off performance of The Prodigal Son in The Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg. This will be the first time the Parables have been performed in Russia and the first time The Prodigal Son and The Burning Fiery Furnace will have been performed in Japan.
Frederic Wake-Walker will expand his 2006 production of Curlew River to include the other two parables and Roger Vignoles will lead the Aurora Orchestra with James Gilchrist taking the principal tenor roles.
