Opera and Ballet for Fun

What it is: An opera or ballet is presented, using a range of media.

When it is: Fortnightly on Thursdays 2.00 to 4.00 p.m.

Where it is: Castle Suite, Badminton Gardens, Beaufort Road BS16 6UE.

We have a varied programme of opera and ballet on DVD (confining ourselves to two hours or occasionally a little over) as well as audio-visual presentations.

We are awaiting definite confirmation that we can start meeting again so the programme is dependant on this.

Dates for your Diary
Thu Jan 20th Handel - ACIS AND GALATEA - By far his most popular opera in his own day and the pinnacle of English pastoral opera, but infrequently performed now despite the elegant and sensuous music, some of which is very well known. Originally intended for private performance but this production from Covent Garden (101 mins)
