"For someone who has worked in opera as long as I have, a piece like Tutti in maschera is truly a joy: it portrays all the funniest quirks of the business, quirks that are sometimes not funny all when they crop up in the middle of trying to put on a production- problems with the sets, singers being difficult, that kind of thing - but which are always good to laugh about afterwards."

If Opera singers are always talking about themselves, the same might be said of the works they perform: Tutti in maschera is an opera…..about opera!
- Carlo Pedrotti
- IN JOKES AND OUT-TAKES
- (Sung in Italian with English Surtitles)
In this updated telling of Pedrotti’s masterpiece, the action is set in Italy in the aftermath of the Second World War It’s a time when lots of theatrical artists are touring around the devastated countryside of Italy looking for work, hungry for glory and fame—or just plain hungry!—but things are looking up for one particular group of singers: a wealthy foreigner has come to Venice to recruit his own opera company. His criteria for casting the main female roles, however, comes under suspicion, and there’s another problem too: when the entire impoverished company is invited by the unscrupulous impresario to a masked ball at La Fenice (Venice’s famous opera house), how will they come up with the necessary sumptuous costumes?

"There are two big opera anniversaries this year: 150
years since the birth of Puccini, and 100 years since the death of
Rimsky-Korsakov. We are managing to celebrate both. The
choice of Snegurochka to the
main stage gives us an opportunity to introduce
audiences to a masterpiece very rarely performed outside Russia. Two long running themes of the Festival, the
exploration of neglected but worthy opera in English and
that of pre-Verdian Italian opera, are developed this year in the shape
of the Mines of
Sulphur and Tutti in
Maschera"

Director
