Opera for All


Last night I went along to Opera for All at Newbury Racecourse. The touring company Opera Box performed Die Fledermaus in the open air. The setting was fantastic, as it had been such a warm sunny day. The audience brought folding chairs, tables and picnics and settled in for an evenings entertainment.

I sat with the Twin Town Association members who are currently hosting a delegation from Kiskunfelegyhaza, the majority of which danced and played in the opera - a wonderful added bonus for the audience. I think they are fantastic dancers - so well rehearsed, and the syncopation is fascinating.
