Experience world-class music with a distinct South West twist in Cesare, performed by Somerset Opera at the Memorial Theatre.
The show will run on Sunday 7th September and is a playful take on Handel’s masterpiece Giulio Cesare.
Organisers say, “Cesare, head of the Parish Council of Romebury, is visiting a neighbouring village for a game of cricket. Romebury are triumphant, and Cesare congratulates the opposition on a well-played match and superlative spread, but upstart Tolomeo is indignant in defeat. Who will win the bake-off? Whose vegetables deserve a rosette? And will Cesare be able to navigate village politics and bring peace, prosperity and pleasure to warring factions — or will there be blood among the bunting?”
“Sung in English with a fresh libretto, this outrageous production will delight avid opera lovers as well as those new to the genre. The show runs for two hours, including an interval, and will be accompanied by the Taunton Sinfonietta.”
The performance is presented by Pleasure Dome Theatre in partnership with Somerset Opera, the Taunton Sinfonietta and the Women’s Institute.
The show will start at 7.30pm. To book tickets, visit https://fromememorialtheatre.org.uk/
