Wylam non-residential – please sign up soon
Cobwebs in September
Saturday 24th – Sunday 25th August
Wylam Institute, Front St., Wylam, NE42 5DQCobwebs play Carmen
**The music for this one is being especially written out for this weekend**
No, not just the Torreadors song – the whole opera.
Seven professional singers from London-based Rogue Opera are travelling up to join us at the Wylam non-residential weekend. We will work alongside them on the arias, preludes, choruses, interludes and dances, gradually putting together a complete (though slightly shortened) version of Bizet’s masterpiece. Cobwebs has never done anything remotely like this before. Carmen contains some of the best-know melodies and most sparkling orchestral music in the whole operatic repertoire, but the weekend won’t be entirely devoted to Bizet – each singer will also be performing solo items by other composers so that there will plenty of variety to keep you all entertained.
Saturday morning 10.30-1pm
Saturday afternoon 2 – 4.30pm
Saturday evening 6.30-9pm
Sunday morning 10.30-1pm
Sunday afternoon 2-4.30pm
Participation Fee for Players
