Daphne 2023 | Staging an Opera in Concert with Emma Jenkins 

What is an 'opera in concert'? Operas in concert, such as our 2023 staging of Richard Strauss' Daphne, use minimal props and costume to perform a full opera, with the orchestra often on stage with the singers. Director Emma Jenkins takes us through the processes and decisions for staging Daphne in concert form. She discusses how she translated Richard Strauss' story, loosely based on Greek mythology, to a period of Germany’s Weimar Republic in the years before the opera was composed.
