The Grange Festival

The Grange Festival is a summer opera festival established to continue performances at The Grange opera house in Hampshire. The first season will be in June 2017 and will feature operas by Monteverdi, Mozart, Bizet and Britten.

Opera at The Grange, Northington was established in 1998 by the founders of Grange Park Opera, Wasfi Kani and Michael Moody. A new award-winning opera house was built at the site in 2002. After seventeen years, Grange Park Opera decided to relocate at the end of the 2016 season, following a dispute over a new lease. The Grange Festival was formed in January 2016 with Michael Chance CBE, Rachel Pearson and Michael Moody as co-founders.

The Grange Festival will open on 7 June 2017 with Monteverdi's Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria directed by Tim Supple. Bizet's Carmen will be directed by Annabel Arden and conducted by Jean-Luc Tinguaud. Albert Herring will bring together conductor Steuart Bedford and director, John Copley who both knew and worked with Benjamin Britten. Teodor Currentzis will make his UK debut with two concert performances of Così fan tutte with his orchestra Musica Aeterna and an international cast.
