Saturday, 17th October: Opera Viva at Horatio Bar on the end of the pier.
A semi-immersive classical opera experience that brings traditional Italian performance art into a unique, dramatic seaside setting, Highly recommended!
Following the great success of its first edition, Opera Viva returns to the Brighton Italian Festival for a second time, once again bringing (mainly) Italian opera closer to the audience — quite literally!
Presented by Simon Gray, Opera Viva is an intimate, low-key semi-immersive experience where singers and audience share the same space.
This is not a traditional opera performance.
Instead, step inside the world of opera and experience a selection of mainly Italian opera in a completely different way. You might find yourself sitting next to Figaro, overhearing Leporello’s secrets, or becoming a silent witness to love, jealousy, passion and betrayal — all unfolding just inches away.
There is no pressure and no forced participation. Just the thrill of being inside the opera, rather than watching it from afar.
