We’re thrilled that the internationally acclaimed and multi-award winning theatre and opera director DEBORAH WARNER is the new Artistic Director of the Ustinov Studio.
Deborah’s extraordinary talent encompasses theatre of all scales – from legendary Shakespearean productions to grand opera in some of the world’s most famous opera houses, and intimate theatre pieces. She has worked with leading companies and talent world-wide, holding prestigious posts including Resident Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Associate Director of the National Theatre and Associate Director of the Barbican.
The inaugural production is Shakespeare’s THE TEMPESTÂ (1 July – 6 August), followed by a re-staging of Benjamin Britten’s cantata PHAEDRA, in a double-bill with brand new dance piece from Kim Brandstrup, MINOTAUR (12 – 23 August).
The season continues with a new production of one of the earliest operas, DIDO & AENEAS (14 October – 5 November), and completed with a newly commissioned new work, SHOWMANISM!, devised and performed by the uniquely talented Dickie Beau (11 November – 10 December).
Tickets for all these productions are on sale now
Since 2011, the Ustinov Studio has presented highly-acclaimed programmes of world and UK premieres, alongside the best in small-scale touring theatre, comedy, music and dance.
