Need cheering up? 3 weeks ago now but our Magic Flute might raise a few smiles. Especially the sea cadets.

Political messages are *usually* imposed upon music (especially untexted music) rather than inherently contained within it. We must resist the notion that Elgar's, Vaughan Williams's & Walton's music has become "Brexity" after the fact.

How it used to be. The British military authorities put on Bohème at San Carlo Naples, 1944-45 season. A friend who died recently, ex-RAF, was there.
And stop pretending we're not part of Europe.

This plus the death of Boswell’s is just the very end of days

Well, our Magic Flute in 1950s England is over. They liked it, we liked it and Papageno (Luke Deacon) obviously liked it. Here he is with Pamina (Rachel Crisp) and Papagena (Lucy Fitt). @ArlingtonArts #Newbury

This week's chance to hear our compelling Queen of the Night, Hannah Dobra, at @ArlingtonArts nr #Newbury. Thu, Fri and a Sat matinee.

[Kennet Opera @KennetOpera]

And some of our Magic Flute action. Of course you twigged, it's set in 1950s England. Near @ArlingtonArts Newbury.

Not Voyager entering the Rings of Saturn, but some of our fantastic minimalist set & lights for The Magic Flute at @ArlingtonArts #Newbury. Opens 21 Nov. @trishl_nwn @NewburyTheatre

[Kennet Opera @KennetOpera]

@rachelparris Love biogs like that. We have one in the same class in next week's The Magic Flute. A man to watch!

This feels a bit... peak capitalist

"Nobody really knows what to do with The Magic Flute". Library - outer space - posh hotel...?
A subtle clue to our stage director's take. https://t.co/Vw2G6YUUVV
Next week!

[Kennet Opera @KennetOpera]

Nearly time. Our Magic Flute opens at @ArlingtonArts nr #Newbury on 21 November. Lucy Fitt and Luke Deacon will be there with Papa-Papa. And you?

[Kennet Opera @KennetOpera]

@sbrackenborough And @Neilyoung recorded there too... around 'After the Gold Rush' time

[Kennet Opera @KennetOpera]

The year's work begins: Wednesday rehearsals in The Majendie Hall, Church Lane, Speen, Newbury RG14 1SA, at 7.30pm from 23 January. Please come along if you're interested! And the picture: no relevance really, it's a Sitzprobe in another place. But it's nice!
