About the show

St Mary's Music School Vocal Department presents Opera Scenes 2026, a fully staged production at Stockbridge Parish Church.


Join us for an engaging evening of opera at Stockbridge Parish Church on Tuesday 17 June at 6pm.


Stranded in a bomb shelter during the height of the Blitz, four Londoners are thrown together and come face-to-face with not just each other, but with their own demons. Featuring operatic scenes and works by composers such as Britten, Handel, Mozart, Jonathan Dove and Offenbach, this staged performance weaves together stories of love, conflict and resilience during Britain's darkest hours.


The performance showcases the work of St Mary’s Music School’s Vocal Department, bringing together a varied programme of opera scenes.
