Debra Cazalet Exhibition

Debra Cazalet is a Somerset based emerging artist, working across a variety of media, including large painted canvases and digital film. Her work is mostly figurative, using the female form, but she has recently started a strand of work encompassing sports figures, both male and female. She has just completed a new series of drawings for the Regal exhibition which take her back to her love of drawing and art, fostered under the care and attention of a secondary school art teacher and re-visited after a circuitous path through another life.

Open during normal box office opening times.

The Gondoliers – Somerset Opera

Music by Arthur Sullivan & libretto by W. S. Gilbert.

The Gondoliers (or the King of Barataria) premiered at the Savoy Theatre on 7 December 1889 and ran for a very successful 554 performances (at that time the fifth longest-running piece of musical theatre in history, closing on 30 June 1891) and was Gilbert and Sullivan’s last great success.

The story is about a young bride who arrives in Venice to join her husband, the heir to the throne of Barataria. From there the plot twists are numerous, providing Gilbert plenty of opportunity to employ his satirical wit.

Somerset Opera will perform a fully staged and costumed production with the usual mix of antics and comedy in a strong line up of company members. An evening of fun for all G & S lovers

TICKETS: Adults £8.50, Friends £8.00, ES40’s/Students £4.50
