Details

Extracts and selections from comic operas. This highly entertaining show is a fun easy way into opera, a 'chocolate box' assortment of highlights, featuring comic chaos and crazy characters from the world's favourite operas. Presented in Hatstand's trademark informal and often irreverent style, this terrific show ensure everyone can have a good chuckle with opera, whether newbie or complete opera geek! Hatstand Opera say their shows are like the weather; if you don't like what they are singing, wait 5 minutes and it'll change! Most extracts are sung in English, including favourite tunes and something really unusual for the buffs, with loads of laughs and superb singing from Hatstand's top professionals. No need for subtitles either, when comp?re and mezzo Kirsty Young introduces who's singing what, when and why! And talking of weather, the show is presented in the Courtyard of the lovely Brick Kiln Barn in Sibton, with the gorgeous barn itself on standby should the August Bank Holiday prove to be inclement! The Courtyard is open for 'bring your own' picnics from 5.30pm, with the show starting at 19:30.
