Sunday 25th January 2024:
Afternoon Tea with guest speaker,
Michael Heyland
In November 1940, the sets and costumes for The Sorcerer were destroyed in a World War 2 bombing raid. It was 30 years before that wonderful opera was returned to the D’Oyly Carte repertoire.
On Sunday 25th February, we have our Afternoon Tea with Michael Heyland as our guest speaker. Michael was the Director of Productions with The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and one of his achievements was directing a new production of that piece and to introduce it to a brand new audience.
Come along and enjoy a delicious selection of scones and sandwiches and hear Michael tell you (with slides and music) how he went about bringing a forgotten masterpiece back to the stage. He was also responsible for directing the new production of Utopia, Limited staged as part of the D’Oyly Carte Centenary celebrations.
Place: Adastra Hall, Hassocks, BN6 8QH
Time: 2:45pm
Tickets: The cost on this occasion will be £15 per head and this will apply to both Society members and guests.
Please do feel free to invite friends and family to this event but please note that due to the need for arranging the catering, pre-booking is essential.
