Zemira e Azor
St John's Smith Square, St John's Church Smith Square, SW1P 3HA , [Venue Details]Fairytale magic meets glorious music.
Semi-staged performance, sung in English
Praised by Mozart and beloved across Europe, André Grétry’s sparkling yet poignant opera was inspired by the charming tale of Beauty and the Beast.
With its radiant score, lively drama and a joyful ending, Zemira e Azor is as touching as it is enchanting.
When the virtuous Zemira offers herself in place of her father as prisoner in the castle of the fearsome Azor, she enters a world of mystery and magic. Cursed by a malevolent fairy, Azor appears as a terrifying beast – and Zemira is at first horrified. Yet, as she looks beyond his outward form, she begins to recognise a spirit of kindness, dignity and nobility. Can her simple love break the spell?
Twice a finalist at the International Opera Awards, Bampton Classical Opera brings vibrant and insightful performances of rarely heard eighteenth-century works to audiences across the country. Showcasing some of the finest young professional singers, Bampton delights with stylish productions, superb ensembles and engaging English translations.
