Opera Gala Night
Saturday 29th June, 7pm, Clarence Hall, Crickhowell
Hot on the heels of our May Music Festival, the choir’s summer concert will celebrate the wonderful world of opera.
A night of splendid entertainment awaits with a sequence of spectacular operatic hits that highlight the development of the form from Monteverdi to modern times. The programme will hold many special moments with well-known showstopping choruses from Bizet’s Carmen, Verdi’s La Traviata, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Wagner’s Flying Dutchman, alongside earlier masterpieces by Handel, Gluck and Purcell.
The concert also provides the opportunity to showcase the amazing talents of our present choral scholars, both as solo singers and instrumentalists. They will perform some well-known arias and works for strings and piano to complement the concert’s dramatic theme.
This delightful programme is sure to provide the perfect accompaniment to a summer’s evening.
Tickets are £12 (free to students and under 18s) and proceeds will be donated to South Powys Youth Music (SPYM)
