Love And Conflict – St. Margaret's Church, Swinton

Saturday, 29th November 2014 – 7:30pm

They are some of opera’s biggest wish pieces, the ones that rend your your heart : the brooding, blistering choruses of a threatened people in Verdi’s ‘Nabucco’; the birth of love and its attendant seeds of destruction in the Love Duet from Puccini’s ‘La Boheme’; the crackling tensions of the quartet from Verdi’s Rigoletto’; the transcendent beauty of reconciliation in the Finale of Mozart’s ‘Marriage of Figaro’.

Strong characters, driving drama, it’s music to die for…
Tickets: £10 per person
