We've now finished our 6 night run of La Boheme and we celebrated 20 years of opera in Wedmore in style !

Our brand-new production assembled an impressive cast of soloists , including Marie Vassiliou as Mimi and Blake Fischer as Rodolfo, David Butt Philip as Marcello, George Humphreys as Colline, Philip Tebb as Schaunard, Alan Philips as Benoit/Alcindoro and last but very much not least, Sarah Minns as Musetta. They were supported by our talented chorus and our orchestra, led by Carolyn Doorbar.

Audience feedback has been superb so far and we've received many plaudits already for this production posted to us through this site:

"We have seen Boheme done by the Welsh National and English National Opera. Your production surpassed both in all departments - design, staging, and singing and touched us in a way that the other two did not. We loved it. Don't know how you do it - but keep it up. Best wishes and congratulations."

"Congratulations for Saturday night. Fantastic. You should all feel very proud."

Charlie Cridlan's innovative design made superb and imaginative use of the staging space, and our new innovation, raked seating, enhanced the view for everyone in the audience.

We also staged a really enjoyable evening of comedy with Richard Herring with his own production of the "Headmaster's Son", itself also a sell-out. Richard will be taking this production to Edinburgh for The Fringe this year.
