Giacomo Puccini's "Tosca" is a passionate and tragic opera set in Rome during the Napoleonic Wars, centered around the tempestuous love affair between opera singer Floria Tosca and painter Mario Cavaradossi. The story revolves around their relationship, the political intrigue, and the manipulative machinations of the corrupt chief of police, Baron Scarpia.
Bernstein's TROUBLE IN TAHITI

Trouble in Tahiti," a one-act opera by Leonard Bernstein, is a portrait of a troubled marriage in 1950s suburban America. It follows the day-to-day lives of Sam and Dinah, who, despite seeming to have a comfortable life, are unhappy and disconnected from each other. The opera explores themes of marital discontent, consumerism, and the search for happiness.
OPERA IN THE PARK

£20 (children free)
Join us for the gala concert, fabulous singing in the open air. Bring your picnic to Oborne and enjoy a concert of arias and show tunes performed by Opera in Oborne’s brightest and best, accompanied by John Cuthbert on the piano. All washed down with a glass on Pimms – this has all the hallmarks of a splendid afternoon in the country.
SILENT MOVIE
Thursday August 7th, 7.30 pm
Visit the movies as the first cinema-goers would over a hundred years ago. A silent movie with live piano accompaniment by John Cuthbert.
This silent movie from 1923 is considered to be one of the classics. Safety Last is best known for its iconic image of comedian Harold Lloyd hanging from a clock atop a skyscraper. Lloyd played an unnamed young man who poses as a department-store manager to impress his girlfriend.
This is our third year of this event; the first two were hugely successful and very warmly received by the audience.
