A event on Sunday 20th October. The event starts at 17:00.
Welcome to Backstage! Here, you will find the 'Ladies of the Chorus' getting ready for opening night of a small-scale adaptation of Verdi's Macbetto.
If you're a regular opera-goer in this region, you'll have seen these three before as Cigarette Girls, Geishas, and Nuns - this time, they are the Witches!*
Despite their numerous appearances over the years, would you recognise them out on the high street? Or know their names if you ever met them? Who really are the people you only seem to see 'upstage'?
Written by and starring Bridget Hardy, Penny Rossano and Samantha Houston, this new play is (possibly) the world’s first ‘Situation Operatic Comedy’! Set in the theatre broom cupboard, next to the building’s only toilet, this tale draws on the ladies’ 20 years+ in the world of opera, so join them as they chart their ups and downs over one-act (55 minutes) with humour, heart, and a sprinkling of live opera singing.
*There are only 3 Witches due to budgetary constraints.
Entry requirements: 14+
