with Opera Anywhere!!!
This Sunday 21st July we’re delighted to bring you the fourth installment of the infamous Opera On Punts with OPERA ANYWHERE!
This unique performance of Opera on Punts is one of the highligts on our summer calender and deffinitely an occasion not to be missed!
After an opening show at the Boathouse, Opera Anywhere will punt & sing their way downstream to the University parks, arriving around 6:00pm. We’ll stop off for an hour of picnics & more opera before making our merry way back to the Boathouse.
Everyone welcome to come along and enjoy the spectacle. You can relax with a Pimm’s at the Boathouse for the first part of the performance. Hire a punt (no booking) and follow the opera along the river. Alternately you can book a chauffeur to do all of the work for you…sit back, relax & enjoy!
We are taking bookings for picnics to bring with you to the Parks, these need to be pre ordered by Saturday 20th July 12 noon latest. Once you have booked your picnic, please email us with regards to dietary requirements & allergies.
