Longborough Festival Opera, our near neighbour, is building
up to the complete Wagner Ring Cycle in summer 2013: a climactic event that
will attract an international crowd to our lovely corner of the
Cotswolds. Here at Farncombe,
we are preparing for the occasion with two courses that take you to heart of
Wagner’s great masterpiece.
Julian Williamson, the respected conductor and lecturer,
will lead you through the drama of “Die
Walküre” from July 27 to 29, with musical illustration at the piano and on
CD. Julian then introduces “Siegfried”,
the child of nature, in a course that runs from November 2 – 4. The last
act includes one of the most lyrical scenes in the Cycle, in the awakening of
Brunhilde.
If you
book both courses, we would be delighted to offer you complimentary upgrade to
one of our Superior bedrooms – generously sized new or refurbished rooms with en-suite bath and
shower and King-sized bed with 1200 pocket sprung mattress.
Please also
note two more Wagnerian dates for your 2013 diary: Julian returns to lead us
through the heroism and drama of “Götterdämmerung.” From 31 May to 2
June, he will cover the Prologue and Act 1; from 26-28 July, Julian completes
the journey with a study of Acts 2 and 3.
Please call
0333 456 8580 to reserve your course places and secure your upgrade. The
deadline for this offer is Friday 6th July.
