Opera Holland Park's 2021 season with resident orchestra City of London Sinfonia will open on 1 June with new productions of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Janácek's The Cunning Little Vixen and Mascagni's L'amico Fritz, and a revival of the company's celebrated 2018 staging of Verdi's La traviata. On what would have been the opening night of the 2020 season OHP is pleased to look to the future.
OHP is monitoring the COVID-19 situation carefully and will take any measures necessary and possible next summer to ensure the safety of audiences, performers and staff. The company still hopes to mount the 2020 productions at a later date, as the pandemic and artist schedules allow. OHP is extremely grateful to its patrons, who have stepped up with generosity of both spirit and purse, following the postponement of the 2020 season. Of those individuals who had bought tickets before performances were cancelled, over 40% made either a full or part donation of the ticket value, the majority with the benefit of Gift Aid, and many also made an extra donation. Another 6% left funds with OHP as a credit for use at a future date. A number of other individuals and institutions have made generous donations to help in the current situation. This largesse has helped OHP to meet some of the cost of paying a percentage of fees to all those contracted for the 2020 season.Videos
