An irresistible goulash of love and betrayal simmering with Opera’s greatest hits. This mad cap mixture of heart wrenching music and riotous comedy includes favourites such as Granada, Nessun dorma and the Pearlfisher’s duet. In an attempt to elevate his Opera Restaurant, Roger Bravado hires the velvet voices of ‘Divas in Disguise’ with disastrous consequences of operatic proportions.
‘You’ve made a keen opera convert of me, bring it on!’
What’s on Stage
A comedy of Arias is created by Opera on the Run’s directors from their experience at the bottom rung of the operatic ladder. Set to a backdrop of Opera favourites ‘A Comedy of Arias’ has delighted audiences up and down the country. A successful period of rural touring provoked an enthusiastic response; it was described as ‘A funny, at times hilarious show’, ‘People absolutely adored it,’ and ‘A belting night out!’
The show gained many favourable reviews when it was presented at the King’s Head, Islington, London:
The best and funniest show in Town’
The Times
‘Very entertaining’
The Sunday Telegraph
The show was so well reviewed in Edinburgh that The New Ambassadors Theatre in London invited Opera on the Run to take the show to London for a week as part of its “Edinburgh Exported – the best of the Fringe” season.
“Definitely not to be missed!”
