POP Up Opera is back, with Mozart'sDie Entfuhrung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) about a hero, Belmonte and his servant, Pedrillo attempting to rescue their lovers Konstanze and Blonde from an Ottoman harem.
All kinds of highjinks and mishaps occur as they don disguises, make merry with the servants and sing an ode to Bacchus, god of wine, in an attempt to save their beloveds.
"The operas we have chosen for 2015," says company director Clementine Lovell, are full of fast-paced comedy and glorious music well-suited to the unique venues where we perform and to the cast and crew who bring them to life."
Pop Up Opera aims to make opera entertaining without compromising quality, and amazing venues combined with an informal atmosphere offer a greater connection to the singers and the music.
Pop Up Opera present Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail at Black Mountains Barn, Lower Hunt House, Longtown (01873 860 358) on Friday, March 6 at 7.30pm and at Hellens Manor in Much Marcle (01531 660504 ) on Friday, March 13, or visit popupopera.co.uk to book online.
