The dress rehearsal of South Devon Choir with the professional musicians is where we are this week. The concert is their summer "Opera Classics" which we have followed during the last month or so at the hall as they have been learning - it was a good run through with the soloist's who sang their bits wonderfully, as you will hear if you tune in. There is a selection from many well known operas including: Madam Butterfly, Magic Flute, Dido's Lament, Carmen, Macbeth, La Traviata and more. This is a challenge for a choir used to singing choral works but one they have risen to well, John Hobbs has been slowly introducing this for the last 3 years as they have done some semi -opera on the summer slot for the last 2 seasons.
Hope you will listen in
John
