For Spring 2017, The Pop-Up Opera Company are reviving their first ‘tragic’ opera and will be visiting Freshwater Memorial Hall on Saturday 8th April.
Pop-Up’s version of I Capuleti e I Montecchi (sung in Italian with English captions) conjures an atmospheric and intimate environment that places spectators at the heart of Bellini’s moving love story. With their signature ‘Silent Movie’ captions that add another layer to the performance, Pop-Up embrace the unique spaces in which they perform, driven by Bellini’s enchanting score.
Now well-established on the touring opera circuit, the company skilfully adapt their operas to each individual venue, making every performance unique, while always maintaining the highest standards.
Bellini’s I Capuleti e I Montecchi will be performed at Freshwater Memorial Hall, Avenue Road on Saturday 8th April from 19:00. Entry is £12.50.
Artistic Director, Clementine Lovell, comments:
“Experimenting with a tragedy is a new direction away from comedy and has been very exciting for us. Bringing the thrilling drama and heartbreaking tragedy of this piece into these intimate and atmospheric spaces has presented a new way of engaging our audiences and created something quite visceral.
“We are looking forward to developing it further and exploring more amazing venues”.
