Opera! It's One Big Party

 

Carmen (Act 2) (Bizet)

Eugene Onegin (Act 2) (Tchaikovsky)

La Boheme (Act 2) (Puccini)

 

Musical Director: Richard Bloodworth

Accompanist: Alison Gill

 

Opera Nova is delighted to present a lively and exciting programme for 2011. Following the success of their semi staged production Love Sex and Death in 2010, this year’s mood is altogether more light-hearted. The selection from La Boheme, Eugene Onegin and Carmen challenges the principals and chorus alike, producing a rousing romp with all the intrigue, humour and disputes you expect from opera. An evening of great music for all ages, so come along and join the party!

"I was blown away by the opera last weekend"

"an enjoyable, amusing, moving evening, I didn‘t care that I missed Match of the Day"
"exhausting but fun... I was on the edge of my seat"
 
These are some of the comments received from last year's audiences for Opera Nova's "Love Sex and Death" programme.
 
This year's evening is in a slighter lighter vein but will again take you on a roller coaster emotional and geographical journey.
 
Enjoy a late night get together with Carmen and her gypsy group in a seedy dive in downtown Seville. Witness with horror the jealous and fatal rivalries between Russian aristocrats in 19th century St.Petersburg. Celebrate Christmas Eve in Paris with Rodolfo, Mimi and their bohemian coterie.
 
Enjoy the lives and loves of the larger than life characters who people Carmen (Bizet), Eugene Onegin (Tchaikowsky) and La Boheme (Puccini) in Opera Nova‘s summer presentation for 2011.
