Opera in Downend

What it is: An opera or the work of a composer is presented, using a range of media.

When it is: Fortnightly on Thursdays 2.00 to 4.00 p.m. commencing 10th September 2020

Where it is: Lower Hall, Badminton Road Methodist Church, Badminton Road, Downend BS16 6NU

We look at a wide range of opera from late 18th to early 20th century, frequently works that are unjustly ignored or difficult to perform, and avoiding those that need much longer than 90 minutes (most of Wagner) or those that make musical demands greater than the presenter or members can appreciate (much modern music). The important thing is that we enjoy ourselves.

For further information or to contact the Group Convenor, just click on the pigeon 'send a message' link, see the latest Annual Bulletin or Newsletter, or send an email to the Groups Co-ordinator via the Contact Us page.

Regulations now limit us to six people so contact before setting out. Easy access. Ample parking. Bus stops (number 48 and others) right outside.
