Congratulations everyone on an amazing concert!

Big Bravo to everyone! It was a pleasure to be a part of this, and wonderful to see a packed @TowngateTheatre to witness it! ⭐️👏🏻👏🏻🎵

A totally joyous evening of opera - world-class professionals performing alongside dedicated amateurs. Performers ages 11 to 90 , singing to a full house at @TowngateTheatre. Over a year of planning, and many months of rehearsal, all leading to this magical event.

This promises to be the most magical evening of music-making and story telling. I am so proud of all the work that has gone into making this event happen, and I cannot wait to share the results with our audience next Saturday evening (20th). See you there. ☺️

SO, where can you get your tickets?! towngatetheatre.co.uk/thames… - get them here!! We are within touching distance of selling out, so please, please spread the word.

But wait, there’s more! We will be joined on stage by local schoolchildren, fresh from a workshop with Aga Serugo-Lugo and Will Gardner. AND there’s a “behind the scenes” insight event happening with Jeremy earlier in the day. Basildon really is the place to be next Saturday.

And if all that world-class talent wasn’t enough for you, the whole evening is being compered by BBC Radio 3’s @Ianskellyradio3, directed and staged by @bastianboytg and produced by @Alex_Godfree. I count myself so lucky to be able to work alongside these incredible people.

We are so ridiculously spoilt by our soloists for this concert - sopranos @AnitaWatsonSop and Blaize O’Callaghan, mezzo-soprano Nancy Holt, tenor @luisgomestenor and our honorary patron, baritone @RGCWbaritone. They will be performing a selection of arias and joining the chorus.

The concert will feature our wonderful TOC Community Chorus, led by @JeremyHaneman and myself. This incredible group of people from all walks of life, who come together every week make music together. We will be performing some of the greatest opera choruses ever written!

🚨 On Saturday 20 April 2024, Thames Opera Company are putting on a very special concert at the @TowngateTheatre in Basildon. 🚨 Here is a list of reasons why you should be buying your tickets and spreading the word: 🧵
