Let’s make opera!
Find out how Heber Opera prepares a show!
Heber Opera is planning two opera workshops on Sat 21st (Steyning Centre) and Sun 22nd May (Uckfield Civic Centre), both regular performance venues for Heber. Each workshop will concentrate on chorus sections from a different opera.
The workshops will start with learning the music (words in English) and be followed by acting out the drama. At the end of the day’s workshop, solo singers will join us to present the piece to friends and family in an informal performance.
To take part in the workshops
There is a charge of £20 per workshop to take part, and we need to know by 6 May if you would like to join us. Contact our musical director Michael Withers on 07802 735190 or michael@heberopera.co.uk . Timetables for the workshops are below – note the different start times.
