Regrettably, due to injury, Tobias Ringborg will no longer conduct our production of Verdi’s Un giorno di regno which opens at the end of June. Chris Hopkins will now conduct this production, with the Philharmonia Orchestra.
We thank Tobias for his work on this opera and we wish him a speedy recovery.
