The Jette Parker Artists shine a light on three women composers: Elizabeth Maconchy, Charlotte Bray and Elena Langer.

The Jette Parker Artists offer a rare opportunity to enjoy the work of three women composers in one production, directed by Talia Stern making her Royal Opera debut, and conducted by Peggy Wu. Haunting explorations of lost love feature in Elizabeth Maconchy’s The Departure (1961) and Charlotte Bray’s Making Arrangements (2012). In Elena Langer's Four Sisters, the three daughters of a deceased Manhattan business tycoon dream of spending his fortune, but their plans prove premature. This marks the world premiere of Langer’s chamber version of this comedy.
