turkishdelight

Please feel free to visit our Myspace page, www.myspace.com/turkishdelighttheopera where you will find more information about the show (and it's future plans, including another London run in August 2008) also feel free to download the sound recordings (free for a limited time only!) and tell your friends!! :) There is much more detailed information on the myspace page. Giles' musical influences include Mado Robin, Yma Sumac, Benny Andersson, Abba, Rachmaninov, Mussorgsky, Bassic, Judy Kuhn, Chess the musical, Björk, Andrew Lloyd Webber, etc. Katy's musical influences include Muse, Tori Amos, Evanescence, Jason Robert Brown, and Stephen Schwartz. Giles and katy's musical tastes vary wildly depending on the time of day. Giles is currently very excited by drum&bass and psytrance, but usually listens to musicals and coloratura sopranos! Katy is discovering ambient trance, but usually listens to melodic rock music and singer-songwriters. Aside from working with the elderly in Stockholm, Giles is currently working on a new show about Lady Jane Grey. Katy is continuing work on her solo album of singer-songwriter material, and also working with composer Phil Gable on his new musical 'Adore'. Both Katy, an accomplished vocalist who trained at LSMT, and Giles, who is mainly self-taught, performed selections from Turkish Delight the Opera and also some new work as part of the Stockholm gay pride festivities. They are both working very hard at organising the nxt London production - the biggest and best yet!! They are both shamelessly opportunistic when it comes to Turkish Delight, especially Giles, and if you are interested in re-mixing, performing, or producing the show or work from the show, you are urged to get in touch!! Katy can be found gigging her solo material around London, and Giles can be currently seen on international Chinese television but he wont tell you where as he's a bit embarassed about the strange editing of his interview! Natasha Day who played Betsy Cohen is continuing her studies at the Royal College of Music, Sophie Juge who played the British Woman in the show is studying for her piano ABRSM and continues to teach singing. Daniel Lawrence who played Ohad Cohen (the Turk) is continuing his studies in London, and Gareth Bretherton who played the British Man is currently in Bocum, Germany, in the show Starlight Express. The next production of Turkish Dleight the new rock-opera will be starring Magoria Edler.
