About

New Sussex Opera follows its "jaw-droppingly stupendous" production of Lampe's The Dragon of Wantley with a chorus production of this magnificent but rarely heard work for soloists and chorus.

First performed in 1915, Bethlehem is a gorgeous 'choral drama' based on a Coventry mystery play.  Rutland Boughton's music features beautiful choral writing, including wonderful arrangements of Christmas carols as you've never heard them before.

The Music Director is Hamish Dustagheer, formerly Maestro di Capella of Malta Metropolitan Cathedral and now organist and choirmaster at St Bartholomew's Church in Brighton.  The Director is Cate Couch, who has previously directed La Traviata and Faust for NSO.

Our talented team of soloists includes soprano Mehreen Shah as Mary, tenor James Beddoe as Herod and mezzo Mae Heydorn as Gabriel.
