Opera Piccola’s latest anthology confirms that torrid passion generally flourishes in a sultry Mediterranean climate, even if this is often viewed from a North European perspective!
Using enthusiastic humour, stimulating commentary and the inimitable Opera Piccola style, we aim to convey our operatic passion to fresh audiences. For a tenth Rondo visit, this popular local group perform works by Offenbach, Mozart and Bizet.

Adam and Eve were the first man and woman created by God. Or were they?
 
Enter Lilith, the not-so-well-known First Lady of Eden. 'Paradise Left' is an alternative to Genesis as we know it, with bawdy innuendo, a healthy sprinkle of angels, demons and office politics. Oh, and a guest appearance by Lucifer.

Sat 18th July at 8:00pm

Brendon Burns, winner of the if.Comedy Awards, brings his brand new show to The Rondo.
 
Brendon once got banned from BBC live television for snogging a goat live on air; he handed out enough mushrooms at the Glastonbury festival to get a thousand people high because Bill Hicks and John Lennon talked about it but didn't; he wrote a trilogy that sent him clinically mad and he walked off the set of "Help I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here NOW" live-on-air after just three days of hosting the show alongside Kelly Osbourne.
 
Join Brendon for 90 minutes of hilarity from Britain's most controversial comedian.
One of the most exciting comics working in the UK - Time Out

The Wandering Scholar
Thu 23rd July to Sat 25th July at 7:30pm

The eternal triangle in medieval times is the theme of Holst’s comic opera ‘The Wandering Scholar’.

 
The Scholar is the whistle-blower. The farmer leaves his wife preparing a meal for the lecherous priest but returns to take his revenge. Is the meal wasted? Who eats it?
Although this opera is quite short, more musical delights fill the evening.

 

Tickets: £10.00 Opera
