ETO
The ever enterprising English Touring Opera start their new season on Friday with a double bill of Puccini's Il Tabrro and Gianni Schicchi at the Hackney Empire. Interestingly they are using two different directors. Liam Steel directs the comedy and James Conway the tragedy, both in Neil Irish's designs. Conway will also be directing Mozart's Clemenza di Tito, performed in English. Making up the seasons will be Tobias Picker's Roald Dahl based opera, The Fantastic Mr Fox
