Joseph Doody Alessandro

The part of Alessandro, king of Macedonia is played by tenor Joe Doody, who has also been a regular in Buxton, singing Monsieur Triquet in Eugene Onegin in 2019 and the Italian Tenor in Viva la diva last summer.

George Curnow Agenore

The role of Agenore is sung by the promising young Welsh tenor, George Curnow.

George Curnow is currently on the opera programme at the Royal Academy of Music under the tutelage of Mark Wildman and was recently awarded second prize in the 2023 Kathleen Ferrier Awards.

Director Jack Furness has garnered high praise in recent seasons, especially for his productions of Rusalka for Garsington Festival Opera and for Candide for Scottish Opera. In this production, he will focus on human relationships of the finely-drawn characters, as well as exploring the work’s treatment of the natural world.
