Hampstead Garden Opera – Don Giovanni – 6 – 15 November 2015
Dear Friends and Supporters,
The city of Oxford is abuzz with the latest rumours, following the death one of the University’s most revered college heads. The talk is that one of the Senior Fellows of his college, a Don with a large personal following – particularly among younger women – is somehow implicated in his death.
Stories of this man, popularly known as Don Giovanni, abound in both the city and the University (‘Town and Gown’). His generosity, his wealth, his charm, his networks, his position and to some extent his creepy D.Phil. student, Leporello, protect him; and he is able to indulge his insatiable appetite for women fearless in his knowledge that his ‘victims’ will not betray him. Many find him desperately attractive regardless of his reputation. Some are brave – or foolhardy – enough to think they can resist him. A few are deluded into believing they can reform him. So far, nobody has blown the whistle and called ‘time’ on him. But I can reveal that this is about to change. The denouement will unfold in November, appropriately and with dramatic finality, on stage in the course of our production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. You just have to come and see this, for all sorts of reasons.
· The story is vibrantly up-to-date in Stage Director Genevieve Raghu’s Oxford setting, using a new translation by Benjamin Hamilton. This Don Giovanni can easily take his place among the galaxy of fallen celebrities of our day.
· The Music Director for this production will be Jonathon Heyward, fresh from his triumph as outright winner of the 54th International Competition for Young Conductors held in Bésançon, France. Jonathon has been Assistant Music Director for HGO since the autumn of 2014, and conducted one of the performances of Xerxes last April. In his safe hands you will hear all the beauties of Mozart’s score, magnificently sung by HGO’s young singers and played by Musica Poetica London.
· We shall be celebrating HGO’s 30th and final production at Upstairs at the Gatehouse – 27 different operas and three repeats in 15 years! From next May we shall be moving to Jacksons Lane Theatre on the corner of Archway Road and Jacksons Lane, opposite Highgate Underground station. Those of us who have lived through all those eventful years will inevitably have some regrets, but there will be exciting new opportunities and challenges in our new home, including a bigger auditorium and better facilities.

Talented oboist Liesbeth Allart performs live at Lauderdale House in a celebration of solo repertoire for the oboe.
In this concert, Liesbeth explores the Oboe’s deeper and more sonorous relations with the Oboe d’Amore and the Cor Anglais. Rarely seen together in a single recital, these instruments first get to display their particular individual qualities in works by CPE Bach, Benjamin Britten, John Rushby-Smith and Vincent Persichetti, after which they join forces in possibly one of the most exciting works ever written for solo oboe: “Solo” by the Italian composer Bruno Maderna.
Liesbeth Allart is a freelance oboist enjoying a varied career. Based in the UK, and with family ties in the Netherlands and Ireland, she has played with orchestras and ensembles throughout Europe, including the BBC Concert Orchestra, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, as well as acting as Artistic Director of De Bezetting Speelt, a chamber group in the Netherlands, for ten years. As a keen interpreter of contemporary music, Liesbeth has taken part in the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and is a regular guest with the Insomnio Ensemble in the Netherlands.
Liesbeth Allart’s solo Oboe Recital will take place at Lauderdale House on 1 April at 7.30pm. Doors open at 7pm.
One Moment In Time Theatre present their own version of the classic folk tale The Enormous Turnip – but with a magical twist! We follow the tale of a young girl called Rosie who dreams of carving a special turnip lantern for the Festival of Light. To plant and harvest the turnip, Rosie will need plenty of help from the audience, her animal friends and one small but very important gnome! Little does Rosie know how absolutely enormous her turnip will grow!
“The show was completely magical and the puppetry exquisite. The children were hooked from the outset.”
– Samantha Lane, artistic director, Little Angel Theatre, London
Using beautiful puppetry and engaging story-telling, this performance captivates children’s attention as the action on stage unfolds. The Enormous Turnip is perfect for young children and fun for the whole family.
The Enormous Turnip takes place at Lauderdale House on 13 October, starting at 10:30am. Suitable for children aged 2 and up.

This unique band combine elements of Folk, Soul, Afro, Dub, comedy and theatre. Their interactive sessions have sold out venues across London as well as appeared at festivals across the country.
“Sing along is always a powerful reminder that life can be full of joy even in the hardest of times” The Royal Court.
Join us at Lauderale House with your voices, silly dances, a sprinkling of mischief and join in the fun!
“With her unique spirit she can woo capacity audiences to sing, dance and forget the world outside” Camp Bestival.
Mrs H and the Sing-along band perform at Lauderdale House on 10 November, starting at 10:30 am. The show is suitable for the whole family.
