The Excursions of Mr Broucek
David Pountney directs Janacek's surreal opera from Grange Park Opera this summer. Peter Hoare sings the title role with the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra conducted by George Jackson.
David Pountney directs Janacek's surreal comic opera recorded at Grange Park Opera, West Horsley, this summer. Peter Hoare sings the title role of world-weary Mr Broucek, who tries to escape his humdrum life through a glass of beer or several, complete with a trip to the moon and the 15th century, where he is required to help liberate Prague. This production was acclaimed for the vitality of the singing and the fabulously imaginative and colourful sets and costumes.
