Visiting director Stephen Medcalf talks about Our Town, a chamber opera by Ned Rorem based on the play by Thornton Wilder. The School gives the European premiere of the work 29 May - 6 June, and Stephen tells us how the opera reflects the novel, the challenges and delights of working with Rorem's music, and why he enjoys coming back to Guildhall to work with the Opera course.
