Calling All Singers
Opera Nova still has places for singers in all voice parts (especially tenors and baritones) to take part in our light hearted Winter/Spring 2024 concert series ‘Partytime!’ – a selection of fun choruses and ensembles from opera and operetta, including songs from The Merry Widow. (We plan to present The Merry Widow as our semi-staged production for 2024.)
For the spring to autumn 2023 season, Opera Nova presented a programme of Verdi opera with semi-staged extracts from La Traviata, Il Trovatore, Rigoletto, Aida, Falstaff and Otello, with a brand new production team comprising Artistic Director Penny Randall-Davis, Musical Director Marco Romano and accompanist Lauren Gilbert.
