"Opera Souffle"

Opera Souffle

Opera Soufflé

Recipe:
Take a saucy serenade, a swirl of salome and some scurrilous sorcery
Stir in several freshly squeezed sweet songs and a sliver of salieri
Mix in a scoop of satan and a seductive sprinkling of scorching sensuality and bake until sizzling
Season with syncopation, serve on a bed of saltarello and garnish with a sprig of summertime.

Et violà! The perfect Opera Soufflé

"Trial by Jury"

Trial by Jury

Gilbert and Sullivan’s battle of the sexes is a community opera, with Minima professionals in the main roles and members of the local community as chorus and in small roles.

Angelina sues her ex for breach of promise. It’s a trial by jury in an English court, but is this jury truly impartial? And what about the judge? And does the Usher manage to keep control as behaviour of the members of the public gets somewhat out of hand?
“Trial” is part of a double bill with “Divas!”, our take on Mozart’s “The Impresario”

"The Impresario"

The Impresario

This new version of "The Impresario" is part of a double bill with “Trial by Jury”.

"Divas!" is our own take on Mozart’s battle of the divas,brought up to date with new and topical spoken dialogue. Two sopranos each declares that she is the prima donna and performs her most impressive aria to persuade the impresario to offer her the lead in his next opera. Our divas choose their own flashy arias and there are plenty of sparks flying.
