Wedmore Opera - opera in Somerset UK

News and Info

After the stunning success of La Boheme in Wedmore Hall, we've had many messages asking "when's the next opera"? The answer is: we don't know !

If there is to be another full-scale production, we will need to re-establish our reserve funds and - perhaps even more significantly - inject some new blood.

We've had lots of offers of help and these are appreciated so it's not beyond the realms of possibility to envisage another opera by Olympics year.

Can you help too? Contact us

Les Skidmore

A memorial concert in memory of Les Skidmore, our much missed and charismatic bass-baritone, who died in November 2007 at the age of 66. took place on Sunday 14th June at the Weston Playhouse

It was a wonderful tribute to Les with no less than 12 Somerset choral and opera societies (demonstrating Les' wide range of singing interests over the years) contributing pieces which Les had either acted and sang in or greatly enjoyed.

A truly memorable evening which raised a stunning £4,500 for Weston Hospice Care. If you'd like to contribute in Les' memory just contact them.

Wedmore Opera sang the "Easter Hymn" from Mascagni's Cavaleria Rusticana, with soloists Sara Minns and Francesca Bowkett.
