Musical Chairs!
After ten highly successful years as Music Director of W11 Opera Philip Colman is sadly laying down his baton. However we are delighted that he has agreed to become a Patron and we look forward to his close involvement for many years to come.
We are delighted to announce that his place will be taken by Philip Sunderland. Philip is a conductor who has worked with many of this country's Opera Companies. He was chorus master at Opera North where he conducted Traviata, Sweeney Todd and the Brahms’ Requiem. He has conducted numerous shows for English Touring Opera and this year conducts for Carl Rosa, Clonter Opera and Opera Brava. He has recently returned from Prague, where he was involved in Benedict Mason’s football opera ‘Playing Away’ directed by David Pountney. He taught the Czech Philharmonic Chorus how to become a chorus of English football hooligans and appeared on stage with them as Kev, the Manchester United Coach. He says is more than delighted to become the MD for W11 Opera and having heard Rain Dance for the first time, is convinced it will be a major hit!
