SPRING OPERA SHOWCASE
Sat 16 May 2026 – 7:00pm
“We are new to opera and appreciated every scene being explained to us. The presentation and singing by the artists was amazing and the whole show was so enjoyable.”
“This was absolutely marvellous – could not have been better. We loved the performances and the introductions and repartee.”
“I thought it was splendid … delightful repertoire and great stage direction.”
Previous Audience Feedback
Spring will soon be here, and with it heralds the annual Masterclasses, and the subsequent Spring Opera Showcase, which offers a rich variety of semi-staged opera scenes, arias, and musical theatre numbers, set into context, to entertain opera novices of all ages and seasoned opera lovers in equal measure.
Masterclass
Visitors to the Masterclass are able to follow a performance’s journey from the rehearsal to production, offering a more in-depth view, at an earlier stage in the week, of what goes into the workings behind a performance.
“My enjoyment (of the Spring Opera Showcase) was greatly enhanced by attendance of the Masterclasses in the days before, where we watched the singers being trained into dramatic ensembles by some of the best teachers in the world.”
Clonter’s former Chairman – Patrick Furlong
Singers to be announced soon.
