Festa Italia at Lancaster Castle

0

Lancaster Castle is the setting for an evening of Italian opera in September.

Festa Italia is being performed on Sunday 9 September at 7.30pm.

At the performance, opera singers from the North West will perform classics from operas that have been written in Italian.

The audience can expect love and hate, joy and despair in well-loved arias, duets and ensembles from operas including Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, Verdi’s La Traviata and Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte.

The performance is suitable for keen opera lovers and anyone who hasn’t been to the opera previously.

County Councillor Peter Buckley, Lancashire County Council’s cabinet member for community and cultural services, said: “I’m delighted that we are staging such a classical evening, and I’m sure that the setting will definitely add to the performance.

“Anyone can go along to this performance, and you don’t even need to know Italian to enjoy the performance!”

Tickets cost £7.50 for adults and £6 for concessions.

Numbers are limited so booking is essential. For booking information or opening times, call 01524 64998 or visit the castle shop between 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Wheelchair access is very limited, so it is advisable to contact the ticket office about this before buying a ticket.
