NEXT MEETING

Mick Lessiter: The Spooky in Opera

Two ghost-like opera singers in 18th century costume

Tuesday 15th April, 7:30pm

Bass-baritone Michael Lessiter has sung with the D'Oyly Carte and at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. In 2023 he spoke to us about Trials in Opera. Next month he will explore the use of the supernatural in opera in its myriad manifestations, from the comic to the genuinely scary.

Note that this meeting is on the 15th—the third Tuesday of April—to avoid a clash with the Philharmonia concert on the 8th.
