Prince Caspian - Opera Brava
"We commissioned a composer to write the music for a new opera, Prince Caspian. We found a fantastically gifted composer, Jenny Gould, who not only wrote some wonderfully melodic and creative music but also wrote fantastic lyrics AND was a fabulous MD for our half-term project. She has a real gift with children."
Shadowball
Associate Music Director - Jenny Gould
"Julian Joseph, who composed the opera’s score, led his quintet from the piano, and directed proceedings alongside the incredibly engaging co-director Jenny Gould, who was charged with the colossal task of keeping the children engaged and in tow."
The Nightingale and The Rose
Adaptation by Jenny Gould
"I Can Give You Roses"
"Jenny is a fine theatre composer, her sense of dramatic style and period reflected in her music at all points. I especially enjoyed her work on The Nightingale and the Rose, which demonstrated a fine ear for setting lyrical drama."
If you're interested in putting on a production of The Nightingale and the Rose, please contact me to discuss performance licensing.
