Opera is returning to Fuller’s pub gardens this summer with 24 performances from Rogue Opera from 18th June to 31st July.
The new production showcases all the big issues in opera — doomed love, star-crossed lovers, the eternal battle between good and evil, loyalty and jealously, power, and revenge.
But it’s not all about love and death in opera — there is plenty of fun to be had along the way, embodied by opera’s best larrikins, jokers, comedians, and sidekicks. Spoken English dialogue links theopera pieces, and all pieces are sung in their original language.
“Bringing opera to new spaces and audiences is a key part of our vision, and what better way to experience opera for the first time — or revisit your favourites — than in your local pub garden?” said Rogue Opera founder Bronwen Stephens-Harding.
“We’re excited to premiere Rogue Opera’s third original production, Lovers, Losers and Larrikins, including fantastic singing, acting, staging, and clever use of props to bring the drama to life.
“It’s been great fun creating another Opera in the Garden production for Fuller’s. We have lots of great characters and music to share with the audiences and I can’t wait to get back on the garden stages this summer.”
Tickets and venue details are on the Fuller’s website.
