Classical Opera conductor Ian Page
The fifteen books of Ovid's Metamorphoses have inspired composers from Cavalli and Monteverdi to Britten and beyond. The recurring theme, as with nearly all of Ovid's work, is love, and Classical Opera's programme focusses on enchanting transformation scenes from operas by the three greatest composers of the Classical era.
