From the Producer's Office is a series of informal podcasts with Opera Holland Park's Director of Opera, James Clutton. In conversation with creatives and collaborators across the industry, we explore the process of putting opera on stage, and how the artists approach their craft. This episode was recorded on location at Bergen National Opera, following the opening night of Sweeney Todd. James talks to a smorgasbord of special guests: BNO's Artistic Director Mary Miller, Sweeney Todd cast members Susan Bullock, Michael Mayes and Peter Kirk (who will sing the role of Frederic in our 2020 production of The Pirates of Penzance), and incoming Artistic Director of ENO, Annilese Miskimmon.
