Don Pedro returns from the wars with his entourage to take up residence with his old friend Leonato. Will his best friends Benedict, a confirmed bachelor, and Claudio, who's deeply in love with Leonato's daughter, follow their hearts? Or will a series of overheard conversations and events prevent true love from shining through? Let us transport you to Messina in Sicily on a warm, lazy summer evening to enjoy this heart-w arming story of love and laughter. Join us for a superb performance of one of Shakespeare's most loved romantic comedies at this beautiful lakeside setting, situated right in the heart of Bromley Town Centre.
Carmen, based on the Merimee short story, is the tragic tale of an irresistible gypsy and her jealous lover, a soldier called Jose. Bizet's passionate and spirited score, with its infectious Spanish rhythms and abundance of melody, has made Carmen arguably the greatest opera ever written and certainly the most popular. This fully staged, traditional production in the beautiful Church House Gardens features an international cast of guest soloists and a 60-strong amateur chorus. Accompanied by the Philharmonic Festival Orchestra, under the baton of loc al conductor Georg Tormann, this Carmen is not to be missed.
Gilbert & Sullivan's best loved opera, The Mikado (or Town of Titipu), will be performed this summer in the beautiful Church House Gardens for the first time ever. Allow yourself to be entert ained by the 'wandering minstrel' and bask in 'the sun whose rays' shine down on our beautif ul 'three little maids'. Listen with amazement to who's on 'the little list' and watch out for the Mikado's wonderful new ways to 'make the punishment fit the crime'!
This fully staged and traditionally costumed production features a cast of professional soloists and the Philharmonic Festival Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Georg Tormann.
