Guildhall School of Music and Drama to Celebrate Pauline Viardot with New Staging of ‘Cendrillon’

By Logan Martell

UK-based Guildhall School of Music and Drama has announced its autumn season of performances.

Among the concerts and masterclasses, there will be an operatic double-bill of  Bizet’s “Le docteur Miracle” and Pauline Viardot’s “Cendrillon.” The department celebrates the 200th anniversary of Viardot’s birth with its new staging, which is presented in association with the Royal Opera House. Originally scored for piano, a new arrangement for chamber orchestra has been done by composer and Guildhall alum Amy Crankshaw.

The program will open with “Le docteur Miracle,” which will be conducted by Dominic Wheeler and directed by Ashley Dean. Two recordings of the double bill, featuring each cast, will be made available to stream for free after the performances, with broadcast dates to be announced.

A full listing of events can be found on their website.
