Kent Opera

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A portrait of Britain's first regional opera company.
Tomorrow BBC2 presents a recording of Monteverdi's opera "Orfeo", in a production for Kent Opera by Jonathan Miller.
Tonight's film looks at the origins and attitudes of this highly professional and very popular company. Based in an oast house in the middle of Kent, it now gives some 60 performances a year in the South and East of England, with occasional festival appearances at home and abroad.
The film includes rehearsals of operas by Mozart and Monteverdi, with Roger Norrington, music director, Jonathan Miller, producer, and Norman Platt, Kent Opera's founder and artistic director.
