The Vache Baroque Festival

 

 


Divas & Scholars is now offering a joyful opera festival event, a short hop from London.  Please take a look at my short film shot at The Vache, a fascinating historic house and home of the Vache Baroque Festival.

There are three Divas & Scholars opera tours and events coming up…

3rd – 6th August – the Vienna Opera Competition Official Tour. Austria
6th September – The Vache Baroque Festival. UK
16th –  20th October – The Verdi Festival, Parma. Italy.

The Vache is a charming country house close to London on the edge of Chalfont St Giles.  It is the home of the Vache Baroque Festival, now in its fifth year.  Divas & Scholars offers you an exclusive curated evening with premium tickets to the opera, welcome drinks in the house, interval dinner prepared by a Michelin starred chef, a talk by the artistic director, and post show introduction to the cast.

Performance Highlights:

Starring two major prize winning opera singers, the esteemed British mezzo-soprano Katie Bray, and the Colombian soprano Julieth Lozano, directed by James Hurley.  This in-the-round production promises to be fast-paced, dramatic and full of circus action. The spectacle will unfold under an atmospheric circus tent set in the beautiful grounds of The Vache.  Musical director Joanthan Darbourn and the Vache baroque band.
