Bristol Ensemble join If Opera for the 2022 Season
Given there is an enormous variety of styles in the 2022 repertoire (most notably the contrast between the soaring theatricality of Puccini to the melancholic beauty of Purcell), the ensemble is carefully chosen to bring each production to life.
It is an important aspect of If Opera’s remit to source talent from the local community where possible, and with Bristol Ensemble being so close to us, both geographically and in terms of their ethos, it is a perfect partnership.
