Although the most famous song from the opera is “The Last Rose of Summer”, the whole opera is full of delightful melodies, as Michael demonstrated with the help of CDs and also some DVD extracts from earlier performances.

Teas were provided at half time by the same caterer as last year, and they were excellent.


The opera will be performed in Haslemere Hall
by Opera South
on 24th, 25th, 27th, and 28th February 2009.
