Garsington Opera's 2015 season at Wormsley will include three new opera productions plus their first collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The repertoire seems to rather less focussed on the rare and unusual this year, and more on core repertoire performed fine casts with many young singers and a number of opportunities to hear familiar voices in unfamiliar roles. Artistic director Douglas Boyd conducts Mozart's Cosi fan tutte and Mendelssohn's incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream whilst there will be a chance to hear the distinguished Britten expert Steuart Bedford conducting Britten's Death in Venice. The Dutch conductor Jac van Steen conducts Richard Strauss's Intermezzo.

Richard Strauss's late autobiographical comedy Intermezzo will be conducted by Jac van Steen and directed by Bruno Ravella with Kate Valentine and Mark Stone as Christine and Robert Storch, plus Ailish Tynan as Anna. The opera will be sung in English (first night 6 June 2015).
