The Old Maid & the Thief
ShortWorks - 19th Oct (15:30), 22nd Oct (15:30), 25th Oct (15:30), 28th Oct (15:30), 31st Oct (15:30)
The first ever opera commissioned for radio is a light and apparently inconsequential satire on women’s innate ability to make reality suit their own needs: in his own words, ‘ woman can do that devil himself can’t do: make a thief of an honest man’
- Gian Carlo Menotti
- (Sung in English)
That’s as may be; Menotti’s little drama is in any case a bit more complicated, featuring a good deal of drinking, and intoxicating music to match.

"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"
- David Agler - Artistic Director
