While Opera Rara’s 50th anniversary gala was unable to take place today, the company were able to announce the happy news that their performance of Donizetti’s Il furioso all’isola di San Domingo which also had to be postponed this year has a new date of 8 July 2021 at the Barbican. Presented together with Britten Sinfonia, Opera Rara’s Artistic Director Carlo Rizzi will conduct a cast led by Opera Rara favourite Albina Shagimuratova as Eleonora.
