Description:
Setting Jane Austen's classic novel as an opera, Jonathan Dove's Mansfield Park was originally written for 10 singers and a piano played in duet. This version, orchestrated by the composer for an ensemble of 13 players, was first produced by the Grange Festival in 2017. Dove adapted the novel with librettist Alasdair Middleton, and from the first sung words by the whole company, "Mansfield Park, Chapter One”, there is strong narrative drive, impeccable vocal writing and wonderful ensembles that sparkle with style and wit.
