POTENT ADULT CHAMBER OPERA AT ITS BEST -
“If
you thought that the passionate lives and violent deaths of opera
are best
found in Covent Garden or La Scala, then think again…” Time
Out Performed at the Hackney Empire
and The Salisbury Hotel (London N4), this truly unique collaboration tells
the salacious story of real Salisbury pub-goers dead and alive in tales of greed,
corruption, sex and tragedy. The whole is united by the common theme of love in
all its manifestations. This programme unites
the 50 minute opera with modern arrangements of Renaissance English Songs including
Purcell’s ‘Bess of Bedlam’ from the ‘Mad Songs’.This
highly adaptable entertainment package suits a main show or post concert spectacular.
- The lyrics are not suitable for children
