Hide AdEliza and the Swans, an opera by John Barber, is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Wild Swans.
It is the tale of a young princess who has to rescue her brothers from an evil queen.
The piece will be performed by the Youth Company together with professional musicians and young players under the direction of Karen Gillingham.
This community opera follows up on Silver Birch which took place last summer at Garsington Opera and featured performers from Aylesbury. For more details about to get involved with Eliza and the Swans call Julian Guidera on 01865 368201 or email [email protected].
