The Pirates of Penzance

Today Meridian Opera brought its unique style of community opera workshop to a new venue; St John’s Seven Kings. 28 people joined them to learn the chorus parts and then perform a reduced version of one of Gilbert & Sullivan's best-loved comic operas - The Pirates of Penzance - to an audience of 80.

Meridian Opera specialises in bringing short, staged scenes of popular and light opera to its audiences, with a particular interest in making opera more accessible in the community.

The production was directed by Kathryn and Paul Robinson with Katherine Fellowes as Musical Director and Producer and was the third collaboration between Meridian Opera and the Performing Arts Adviser for the Barking Episcopal Area (Rev. Kathryn Robinson).
