Who Wants to Be an Opera Singer? February 10, 2011

Who Wants to be an Opera Singer? is an accessible, fun and interactive introduction to the world of opera. This lighthearted show demonstrates some of the big ideas of opera-including voice and character types, conductor and orchestra-using the format of a game show. With a spin of the giant opera wheel, the singers compete for the coveted Golden Throat Award and a brilliant career in opera by singing (abridged) versions of opera's 'greatest hits' and telling a little about the operas from which they spring. The game ends happily, but not before the audience has been introduced to a world of glorious characters and music.
