We aim to watch a variety of operas, on DVD, from the familiar to the less well known. We start the meeting with a description of the work, including the provision of a synopsis, to assist understanding. Members will have the opportunity to introduce their own favourite works or performances. Allowing for a coffee break at a suitable point between acts, meetings can last up to 3 hours. |

We are a welcoming, informal group, accompanied - and guided! - by our pianist. We sing traditional and folk melodies, songs from the shows and other popular 20th century songs. In addition we give performances for various homes and charitable institutions, on average about once per term. |
