Touring the UK for over ten years, Opera Della Luna create new and innovative...

 productions of musical theatre, comic opera and operetta in English and have earned themselves a matchless reputation with acclaimed productions of Gilbert & Sullivan, Offenbach and Johann Strauss.

They take to the Pitlochry Stage for the first time on Friday 26th February to perform the infamous patter songs of Gilbert & Sullivan in Nightmare Songs, a new theatre-music piece which contains most of the G&S patter songs within a play that is, by turn, hilariously funny and surprisingly moving.

"On a rainy night in a town in the north of England, the patter man's understudy in the famous D'Oyly Carte Opera company is given a day's notice that he is ‘on'! A sleepless night ensures and, in the dingy bedroom of his theatrical digs, he tries to rehearse his role - helped, but often hindered by one of the other residents of the house, an itinerant variety performer. As the night progresses, their discussion take on a more disturbing tone as the understudy's rehearsal begins to turn into a true nightmare..."

Opera Della Luna return for a second night in succession, with a brand new production of The Sorcerer, Gilbert & Sullivan's first full length, successful operetta.
The story is relocated from its quaint Victorian setting to sleepy rural Britain in the 1970s. John Wellington Wells, the celebrated dealer in ‘magic and spells' spreads chaos and havoc in an unsuspecting country village, when he places a powerful aphrodisiac in the village hall tea-pot. The resulting revelations and numerous comic twists are indeed "a marvellous illusion, a terrible surprise!"
