OPERA FROM THE AGE OF HITCHCOCK… Abandoned by her lover Anatol, Vanessa retreats from the world, waiting and hoping with only her mother and her niece Erika for company. But when, 20 years later, Anatol’s handsome young son arrives unexpectedly, past and present love collides, and the aftershocks threaten to destroy them all. Samuel Barber’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Vanessa is a tense, psychological drama full of unspoken and unspeakable truths. Vanessa was captured live at Festival 2018. *** Creative team Conductor Jakub Hrůša Director Keith Warner Designer Ashley Martin-Davis Lighting Designer Mark Jonathan Movement Director Michael Barry Projection Designer Alex Uragallo London Philharmonic Orchestra The Glyndebourne Chorus Chorus Master Nicholas Jenkins Cast Nicholas, the Major-Domo William Thomas Erika Virginie Verrez Vanessa Emma Bell Anatol Edgaras Montvidas The Old Baroness Rosalind Plowright The Old Doctor Donnie Ray Albert Footman Romanas Kudriašovas
