Come and SING WITH US!Our Musical Director Max Fane says:
I’ve been in love with opera and singing since I was 14. I believe that singing is for everyone. I believe that you do not have to read music to
enjoy and achieve good singing. In fact it’s best not even to think about it!
We have lots of really exciting and rewarding projects on offer at Kennet Opera. I encourage you all to come along and give it a go. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain!

MOZART died in Vienna in 1791 at the age of thirty-fi ve. His output in that last year was extraordinary, containing some of his
best-loved vocal works – � e Magic Flute, La Clemenza di Tito, the Ave Verum and, of course, the Requiem. In tonight’s concert, selections from these works are sung by the company, and the story behind them, and the life and death of their author, is described by his close friend Emanuel Schikaneder.
SCHIKANEDER was an enormous fi gure in his own right, actor, singer, playwright, theatre manager, producer and impresario,
who dominated theatre life under the Habsburgs for decades. He commissioned � e Magic Flute from Mozart, wrote the libretto and was the original Papageno. � e musical of his own life, directed by Sir Trevor Nunn, is currently a box-offi ce smash in Vienna.
