Details

Perhaps the first complete operatic setting of a Shakespeare play, The Comedy of Errors combines the genius of the formidable Lorenzo da Ponte with the dynamic music of Mozart's English protege, the remarkable Stephen Storace (1762-96). From the opening storm and shipwreck, through the mayhem of confusions caused by identical twins, to ultimate enlightenment, Storace's Figaro-like score bubbles over with brilliant energy and glorious melody. This distilled version of The Comedy of Errors has been specially created for schools and family audiences in association with acclaimed theatre company Told by an Idiot. Running time: 1hr 20mins
