Celebrating 10th annual production

Thrapston Plaza Opera was founded by
Vincent Davy in 2010, with its inaugural
production being a performance of Bizet’s
‘Carmen’ in February 2011.

The aim has been to present good quality
productions involving the local community.
Soloists sometimes come from further afi eld
but most of the chorus are locally based.
Children are recruited from local schools to
take part when required. All operas are sung
in English accompanied by an orchestra of
experienced players.

Operas are staged in The Thrapston Plaza
and offer audiences a chance to experience
grand opera locally at affordable prices!
Annual productions have included:
‘Carmen’ - Bizet, ‘The Bartered Bride’ -
Smetana, ‘Aida’ - Verdi, ‘Die Fledermaus’
- Strauss, ‘Madame Butterfl y’ - Puccini, ‘La
Vie Parisienne’ - Offenbach, ‘Eugene Onegin’
- Tchaikovsky, ‘La Traviata’ - Verdi and ‘The
Daughter of the Regiment’ - Donizetti.
For the Tenth Anniversary Production,
Thrapston Plaza Opera will again be staging
‘Carmen’ in the Plaza on 18th, 19th, 21st and
22nd February 2020.

Principal roles were cast at auditions held last
June and rehearsals have been in full swing
now since mid September. Anyone wishing
to be involved helping backstage or front of
house please get in touch.

Meanwhile, tickets £15 (£12 before 1st Feb),
