Programme Note
The Operatists are proud to be announce London’s first ever staged production of Madeleine Dring’s comedy whodunit chamber opera, ’Cupboard Love’ at Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival 2023 on the 6th September at 7pm. The librettist is Daniel F. Aitken
Dring’s only opera, ‘Cupboard Love’ is a witty and vibrant work, full of jazz harmonies and modern romantic lyricism. Written in the 1950’s, it was never performed during her lifetime and was only heard in public for the first time at a read through in London in 1983. Published in 2017, we are bringing this neglected work to the stage in London for the first time, the city of her birth and in her centenary year.
