Those members who attended A Night at the Opera at St George’s Hall in June, thoroughly enjoyed it. Why not try a full opera. This is the best one to start with. If this was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber you would know that you were going to enjoy it. What would be the show stopping songs, in Italian are called Arias. Above the stage there will be surtitles so you can follow the story. A synopsis of the show will be available at the theatre desk to help know what’s going on. But non of that is important if you give it a go and enjoy the wounderful music and the singing.

Arts Fair Closes Early
Due to expected demonstrations in and around Pierhead this weekend, the lovely Liverpool Arts Fair, which we have visited many times, has informed me they have had to close two days early, so they will miss two days of trading. It will be a sad loss to our cities cultural heritage especially as this only the second year of the show returning after Covid. Maureen
