Spanish Hour is the latest production from Mid Wales Opera
Mid Wales Opera ‘SmallStages’ has returned this autumn, bringing live opera to the heart of communities across Wales and the Borders with Ravel’s exhilarating one-act clock shop comedy, A Spanish Hour (L’heure espagnole). With five singers and four musicians and bursting with hummable tunes and buzzing habaneras, join Concepción and her lovers as the temperatures rise…
In the second half of the evening, musicians and singers come together to produce an eclectic and entertaining taste of Spain – with some old favourites and new delights for audiences to enjoy.
This is opera for everyone – featuring an outstanding cast of five young singers as well as four brilliant musicians, performing a new English translation by Artistic Director Richard Studer and a new arrangement of Ravel’s exotic score created by Music Director Jonathan Lyness.
