TRIO OF COMIC OPERAS at KINGS HEAD THEATRE

Irrational Theatre presents a Triptych treat for opera lovers and those who want to dip their toes in with this rare and special chance to see these three comic gems: A fun tale of mixed fortunes in Offenbach’s Le 66, performed for the first time in the UK with an English Libretto. Peter Reynolds’ Sands of Time; credited by Guinness World Records as the shortest opera on earth at 3 min 34, intended to ‘match the boiling of an egg’. A new comic opera commission by John Whittaker: The Proposal based on an early Chekhov satire. You may never get to see them again – so here’s your chance.
