Puccini

Friday 20th– Sunday 22nd October 2006

The Angel Hotel, Midhurst, West Sussex

Giacomo Puccini (1858 - 1924) is one of the most popular, and one of the most 
important, of all opera composers.  During the weekend we will discuss aspects 
of his style and achievement by examoining two of his finest operas: La Fanciulla
del West (New York 1910) and Turandot (Milan 1926), with illustrations on
excellent HiFi equipemnt.  
The weekend is designed as an informal 'house party', so guests need only the 
ability to enjoy music, no technical knowledge will be required.
Arts in Residence and The Angel Hotel offer an excellent cuisine, including wine
with dinner.  The event will end with afternoon tea on Sunday, but for those
wishing to depart on Monday, it will be possible to stay for an extra night at a 
special rate.
The Angel Hotel is located in the centre of the characterful Sussex market town of
Midhurst, situated in the beautiful South Downs countryside. The building has an
elegant Georgian façade, which hides a much older building, a former 16th
century coaching inn full of real warmth and character.

Terry Barfoot writes widely on music for Britain’s leading journals, orchestras, 
festivals and record companies. He lectures at venues throughout the country and 
is Publications Consultant to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
