DIVA Opera is showing two productions at the Great Barn, Manor Farm, Fingest, next month.

The operas start at 6pm, with an extended interval at 7.30pm for picnics.

On Saturday, September 6, Gaetano Donizetti’s Don Pasquale will be performed. The front three rows are sold out, tickets cost £100.

Then on Saturday, September 13, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro will be sung. Tickets cost £115 for the front three rows or £100.

The barn has an excellent backdrop and acoustics and faces on to a central courtyard. Tables and chairs are provided and can be organised to suit numbers. Car parking is in an adjoining field.

Both performances will raise money for Child Bereavement UK, Action Medical Research for children and Doctors Without Borders.
