What a Feast of music and festivity we enjoyed when Duchy Opera opened its summer season with Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, at Falmouth’s Princess Pavilion.
Who doesn’t love a Viennese Waltz? Intoxicating melodies by “the King of the Waltz” had the audience practically whirling with delight in their seats. Strauss’s hypnotic waltz music is famous throughout the world, but this production is a wholly Cornish triumph, showcasing the county’s top musical talent, from directors to translator and soloists. There are still 4 more opportunities to see this vibrant show. Tickets are still available for this delightful Summer evening of Open Air Opera, food and wine at Park House, Truro: More information and Bookings
Bude and Falmouth both produced fantastic audiences for us and the feedback was encouraging! "Congratulations to Duchy Opera. An excellent performance in Falmouth last night. A most enjoyable evening" "Congratulations to Duchy Opera for Die Fledermaus, a brilliant production, well done, great fun!" Please come along and see us at Newquay (Wednesday) or Truro (Thursday) There was a very informative interview on Thursday on the Tiffany Truscott show on Radio Cornwall, featuring Paul Drayton, Helen Tiplady and Cheryl Brendish. They shared insights into our Die Fledermaus production which opens today at Bude. You can now "Listen Again" at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p030n4dg#play (start listening at about 29 mins 20 secs into the programme - lasts 10 minutes)
Not long now to our first performance of our original and quirky operetta “Die Fledermaus”. I hope that by now you will have noticed our publicity on posters, in the local paper and on social media. If all this has passed you by, here is a brief look at what’s in store. (and if you are already suffering from information overload, please feel free to re-cycle this email!) Could I please encourage you to support this local production, brought to you by a cast totally drawn from Cornwall? It will be a fun performance with the beautiful music of Johann Strauss setting your toes tapping.  What is the meaning of identity in the ever-shifting course of our lives?
Are you really just one person, or are you many... forced to change and adapt according to circumstance? Can you re-invent and re-cycle your identity to suit each new situation in your life? And what happens to the ‘you’ that gets discarded? Come with Duchy Opera, Conductor Paul Drayton & Director Helen Tiplady on a voyage of imagination & discovery, as they re-imagine Strauss’s wonderful comic opera, Die Fledermaus. Join the weird and wonderful inhabitants of a waste management centre, weaving an increasingly funny and complicated plot around a bat mask, a pocket watch, several mistaken identities and copious amounts of champagne, culminating in a joyous and inebriated climax! Featuring the beautiful and memorable music of Johann Strauss II. Duchy Opera - going where no opera has been before.
