British Youth Opera

British Youth Opera returns to Sadler ' s Wells alongside Southbank Sinfonia with more of the UK ' s very best emerging operatic talent in two new productions. This September, the company stages two fascinating and very different operas. Puccini ' s bittersweet romantic comedy La Rondine is set in Paris during the Belle �poque. Performed to music of exceptional lyrical beauty, it tells the story of two pairs of lovers as they deal with affairs of the heart, commitment and renunciation.Jonathan Dove ' s hugely successful modern masterpiece, Flight, first performed in 1998, receives its first London performances by British Youth Opera. Set in a busy airport and inspired by a true story, the opera presents a group of people whose lives happen to intersect on one particular day. Their interactions and relationships are illuminated by Dove ' s pulsating and thrillingly colourful score.
