THURSDAY 13 - SATURDAY 15 NOVEMBER
English Touring Opera
ETO present two new productions: Peter Brook's adaptation
of Bizet's La tragédie de Carmen (13 & 15
Nov) and Dvorák's Rusalka (14 Nov). Brook has
distilled Carmen to focus on the four doomed protagonists
while still retaining all of Bizet's most memorable music,
resulting in an intense night of opera theatre with a passionate
love story. 'English Touring Opera has struck the right chord,
in every sense, with this autumn's repertoire' - The Times.

Aldeburgh Music Development Plan
The final push is now on to complete all the roofs of the
new studio complex. The concrete shell that encases the Britten
Studio is finished and will soon be hidden by two layers of
insulation and a slate roof. As the buildings become watertight,
the increased activity internally by the teams of electricians
and engineers is showing results. For more information about
the project please call 01728 687100 or visit www.aldeburgh.co.uk.
