Director
Graham Self with Blake Parham, Musical Direction by Ian Boath
By arrangement with G. Schirmer Australia Pty Ltd The combination of cowboys and Offenbach is not often seen on Adelaide stages, but emerging local company No Tenors Allowed is embracing all things Spaghetti Western for their latest show Opera Goes West. Opera Goes West is a black and white Western take on A Hand of Bridge by Samuel Barber, Offenbach’s Two Blind Beggars and George Gershwin’s Blue Monday. This interesting collaboration is all part of the No Tenors Allowed ethos of changing the public face of opera. No fat ladies, no Viking helmets, just talented young people and good music.
