Thrapston Plaza Opera
 

Thrapston Plaza Opera was founded by Vincent Davy in 2010 with its first production being a performance of Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ in February 2011.

The aim is to present a good quality production for and involving the local community. Soloists sometimes come from further afield but most of the chorus are locally based. Children are recruited from local schools to take part if

required. All operas are sung in English accompanied by an orchestra of experienced players.

Operas are staged in Thrapston Plaza and we hope to offer audiences a chance to experience grand opera in Thrapston at affordable prices.

For 2025 we are planning to perform

La Bohème by Puccini which tells the story of a penniless poet who falls in love with a young seamstress only to discover that she is gravely ill.

​Following successful auditions in July rehearsals have now commenced and will continue next year  at 7.30pm on Tuesdays in    St James Church Hall, Thrapston.                           All singers are invited to join in.

Chorus members are not auditioned and anyone interested is welcome to come along to our rehearsal to discover what’s involved.

Music reading is not essential and it doesn’t matter if you haven’t sung in a chorus before – you will  be made very welcome.

Singing not for you?

Then how about helping with costumes, scenery, publicity, front of house, marketing? There will be something for everyone.
