Previous Audience Feedback
Arguably the most popular event in Clonter’s annual operatic calendar, the Opera Gala consists of a variety of well-loved opera arias, duets and ensembles, and some musical theatre numbers, in a well-established operatic prelude to Christmas, and is ideal for anyone who has not been to an opera before, but would like to dip their toe in the water, before committing to a full-blown one. Each item is set into context, so no prior knowledge is necessary.
Singers to be announced soon.
