Claxton Opera was founded in 1978 by Richard White. The aim
has always
been to present opera and music drama of the highest quality using
amateur East Anglian singers, instrumentalists and artists. Therefore
it is a company without membership which can consequently draw on the
most appropriate artists for any particular production.
Performances were at first presented in different venues -
again chosen for their suitability to a particular production. Since
1993 productions have been largely in the small opera house in Richard
White's home at Claxton.
Claxton Opera is always looking for new talent in every area:
singers, both soloists and chorus members, set builders and painters,
property makers and Front of House staff.
Production for 2009
Unfortunately, Bluebeard's
Castle by Bartók, due to be performed this summer, will have to
be postponed until 2010 owing to casting problems. Consequently, Richard is taking a sabbatical and Claxton will be silent this summer.
Bluebeard's Castle is an absolute certainty for next summer 2010.
The next event at Claxton will be our ceilidh on New Year's Eve
and we hope to see as many of you as possible. Invitations will be sent.
Der Freischütz will now take place in 2011.
