We normally watch an Opera DVD. Depending on DVD length, there should always be time for conversation and for informal discussion! Detailed notes on each opera are sent out in advance. A monthly European e-letter is also forwarded, with some extra local news.

Our latest programme will include operas by Bellini, Gilbert & Sullivan, Gounod, Handel, Mozart, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi (twice) and Wagner.

Members can lead sessions, and suggest operas that they'd like to see.

New members extremely welcome. To find out more - or ask for a taster session - please contact Richard (using the Opera enquiry group leader link above)!
