Joby reunites with choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and designer Bob Crowley to present their third full-length narrative ballet for The Royal Ballet, a co-commission with American Ballet Theatre based on Mexican author Laura Esquivel’s best-selling novel, Like Water For Chocolate.
The BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Singers, along with soloists Michael Mayes, Veronika Haller, Andrew Bidlack and Craig Verm, will give the UK premiere of Joby’s 2015 one-act opera, Everest, in a semi-staged version.
The UK premiere of Joby’s one-act opera Everest is to be given at Barbican Hall, for one performance only. Gene Scheer’s taut libretto relates the events of a tragic 1996 ascent of the mountain by a group of climbers, many of whom never returned.
The Philharmonia under Esa-Pekka Salonen presents the YouTube premiere of their 2012 recording of Holst’s The Planets, with an extra final movement composed specially for the installation by Joby titled Worlds, Stars, Systems, Infinity.
Soloists Kelley O’Connor and Tobias Greenhalgh, with Britten Sinfonia and Britten Sinfonia Voices, will give the first public performance of A Sheen of Dew on Flowers, Joby’s new cantata commissioned by the Victoria and Albert Museum to celebrate the acquisition of Queen Victoria’s coronet.
