The programme consists of the early cycle Our Hunting Fathers (with tenot Mark Padmore), the Quatre Chansons françaises (a stroke of genius by the only 14-year-old), and the suite from the unfortunately rarely performed opera Gloriana, which was written for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Ivor Bolton has been principal conductor of the Basel Symphony Orchestra since the beginning of the 2016/17 season. He is also Artistic Director of the Teatro Real in Madrid, Chief Conductor of the Dresden Festival Orchestra and Conductor Laureat of the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, with whom he appears annually at the Salzburger Festspiele, and on tour (including the 2006 BBC Proms in London). In the UK he has been Music Director of English Touring Opera, Glyndebourne Touring Opera, and Chief Conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
A highlight of Mark Padmore's 2021/22 season was a residency at Wigmore Hall where he celebrated his relationship with pianists Till Fellner, Imogen Cooper, Mitsuko Uchida and Paul Lewis. He will return to the Wigmore Hall in the 2022/23 season to sing Vaughan Williams and Fauré with the Elias Quartet and James Baillieu, after performing the programme in Spain. Mark's most recent appearance at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden was a new production of Britten's Death in Venice, where his performance was described as a "tour de force" and "exquisite of voice, [presenting] Aschenbach's physical and spiritual breakdown with extraordinary detail and insight".
