MUSIC / OPERA GROUP

See below for details of planned events. Please contact the organizers for further information.

We are sometimes asked why we do not organize parties to more concerts. The answer is that each time we have offered a group booking for a concert in Exeter the support has been minimal. It seems that members are happy to acquire their own tickets and to make their own arrangements locally, but that they appreciate not having to drive to Plymouth or to struggle with the parking there. We have not booked tickets for the Bristol Hippodrome recently, as members complained bitterly about the lack of space which resulted in uncomfortable seating particularly for those with long legs!

Finally, I should like to thank Alastair, who covers all the tasks I cannot do and who picks up any mistakes and general illiteracy before the letters go out to members; Wojtek, who is a tower of strength and copes with financial muddles; and Bruce, who makes everything so much easier for us by organizing the car parking at the Exeter Squash and Cricket Club.

Programme for 2013


6th December 2013 - The Rape of Lucretia

It is the centenary of Benjamin Britten's birth and Touring Glyndebourne Opera will be honouring this by performing his opera The Rape of Lucretia. The theatre is holding 40 tickets on our behalf (for this opera) on 6th December 2013, at 7.15.

Advance notice

In the Spring of 2014, the Welsh National Opera Company will be giving Manon Lescaut by Puccini and we have tickets for 28th March, 2014, at 7.15. This does not conflict with Easter, as has been the case in the last 2 years. Easter will be 18th April in 2014.
