Viva Verdi & Viva Vino

Picture
Venue - The Yews, 24 High Street, Gretton

'Date - Sunday 28th August

Time - 2 - 4pm

Description - The Life and times of the great opera composer Giuseppe Verdi together with lashings of wine, women and song!

After last year's highly successful event “ Puccini, Passion, Prosecco and Pizza” Martin McEvoy has devised another special operatic afternoon which looks at the life of  Giuseppe Verdi, an innovator in the world of opera and late in his life a politician who helped  bring about the unification of Italy.  

You will see filmed excerpts from The Royal Opera House Covent Garden, The Metropolitan New York, La Scala Milan and other world famous houses. Scenes from La Traviata, Rigoletto, Aida & Don Carlos. Whether you are a seasoned opera goer or even if you don’t have a clue about opera Martin McEvoy brings a fresh and entertaining way to make this great art form accessible, understandable and available to everyone.

Admission - £10 to include wine, Italian bites and lots of passion.

Tickets available - Places are very limited so please book your seat by emailing martin@londoncityopera.co.uk, your tickets will be mailed to you. Book early as last year sold out within a week.

Offering the widest possible range of local music, the festival takes place over August Bank Holiday spanning four days with concerts from Friday 26th August through to Monday 29th August.
