Commissioned by Opera Holland Park in a co-production with the Canadian Opera Company, Toronto, Itch is an explosive new opera from composer Jonathan Dove and librettist Alasdair Middleton. Adapted from Simon Mayo’s best-selling novels, Itch and Itch Rocks, with a sparkling ensemble cast and a soundworld that speaks of dangerous treasures, this is an element-hunting adventure story for all ages, spliced with comedy, peril and brilliant operatic set-pieces.
