What Our Audience Say

Tom from Worcester

We saw Pirates of Penzance in a magical rural setting outside Bromyard. Gilbert and Sullivan, a picnic, on the lawn, a beautiful manor house with views across the valley: what could be more English than that? Our 5 and 7 year olds loved it and were humming the tunes for the rest of the summer!

Miranda

Such a joyous performance in an unusual setting. Excellent singing and lively skipping about, never a dull moment, well done! PS the fairy queen deserves a new frock

Felicity

Seen at Beccles, Suffolk. Really enjoyable evening. I was sitting next to some G&S newbies who were enchanted. The switch of settings was well handled - though I think it a pity that keeping it set in Japan is not considered good form. Look forward to seeing you again in Beccles in December and hope you make many returns to the area.

Mal and George

Your cast performed the Marriage of Figaro with great energy, enthusiasm and humour.....and...did I mention their beautiful voices. We LOVED it. Thank you.

Felicity

Saw this at Thorington theatre - outdoors and in the pouring rain. Great fun, the performers didn't look one bit downcast despite dancing through puddles. Well sung and acted. I went home soaking wet but it was worth every drop.

Rita

Very professional and yet loads of fun!

Marie, Simonsbath Festival

I think I can safely say that thanks to Opera Anywhere everyone went away last night with a spring in their step and a smile on their face

Anne

Opera Anywhere have an amazing schedule ahead, lots of lucky people have a treat to come, it was a fabulous performance

Audience Member

Can’t better G&S for some huge fun and brilliant music, delivered by Opera Anywhere with great panache! Loved it, still laughing at all the people on the list who never would be missed!
