Duchy Opera's Christmas Concert: Opera Favourites and Festive Classical Highlights
Join Duchy Opera for a celebratory evening of opera favourites and classical highlights to bring in the festive season. |
|
In the summer of 2025 Duchy Opera will present their next production:
La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi
La traviata is inspired by the life and death of the real-life Parisian courtesan Marie Duplessis, about whom Alexandre Dumas wrote a novel and play: La Dame aux camélias. Verdi offers a sympathetic portrayal of the heroine, highlighting Violetta's noble nature and her devotion to Alfredo. It is currently the most performed opera in the world, and the role of Violetta a favourite for many star sopranos.
We will be auditioning local singers for principal roles on
26th and 27th October and we would be pleased to welcome
new members, especially men, to join our chorus.
Details of audition dates, arrangements and application forms can be found on our Future page
