Artistic Director Somtow Sucharitkul

2009 was one of the most artistically successful years for the Bangkok Opera with the Darren Royston directed productions of THAIS and LA BOHEME both starring Nancy Yuen.  In 2010 we finally reach our tenth year of operation and will celebrate with four highly varied productions.

Owing to recent events in Bangkok, please check for possible postponements of events.

Darren Royston directs one of the world’s most popular operas in the opener to the Bangkok Opera’s tenth season.

Trisdee na Patalung, dubbed “a genius” by London’s Opera magazine for his interpretation of Zauberflöte, returns to conduct a glowing Figaro.  Cast includes Nancy Yuen as the Countess, Zion Daoratanahong as Susanna, and, in a daring bit of casting, countertenor Jak Cholvijarn as Cherubino.

This producion of Siegfried has been postponed due to the serious illness of the leading tenor.  Please watch this space for further news.

Bangkok Opera’s first Thai-language production is Bruce Gaston’s children’s opera, originally created for the young HIV children of Baan Gerda in Lopburi, and performed by children with the Siam Philharmonic Orchestra as backup
