Synopsis
This book celebrates sixty years of Welsh National Opera from its post-war infancy as it developed into the major international company it is now. The book remembers the company's first performance in 1946 and pays tribute to the pioneers of the first forty years of WNO. As a celebration of the last twenty years in particular, it charts the company's growth to musical maturity over the years under its Music Directors, and shares the memories of members of the WNO Company. A photographic essay joins WNO on the road, and another sees the company settle into its new home in the outstanding new Wales Millennium Centre. Today, Welsh National Opera is multi award-winning and bring world-class opera to thousands of people across the UK every year. Productions since 1985 are featured here in both words and pictures - the popular favourites such as Carmen, La Boheme and Madam Butterfly, as well as the more challenging operas such as Wozzeck and The Queen of Spades. All are included in this celebratory book in magnificent spreads of photography and text. They will evoke special memories for those who saw these productions, and will entice and captivate anyone who didn't.
