Opera Concert
Saturday October 23rd
The Opera Concert returns after a gap of a year the net proceeds will be contributed as usual to Charity. We will celebrate what it is hoped will be freedom from Covid restriction by that time in Little Gaddesden Church at 7:30 (Doors open at 6:30) with a programme of popular Opera music and song to the usual high quality sung by four very talented professionals who will be on the stage at the Royal Opera House the Saturday before our evening. The singers are Marianne Cotterill, Soprano, Jeanette Ager, Mezzo, George Freeburn, Tenor and Jonathan Fisher, Baritone, accompanied by the very accomplished pianist Viv McLean. It will be an evening to remember.
Tickets will be available from Little Gaddesden Village Shop and from Michael Roberts on 01442 843444 or MCRoberts4@aol.com from October 1st.
