The
Opera Dudes hit Hampshire. The first venue was Sherfield on Loddon. The Hall here
looked like, and indeed was originally, 6 cottages in a row. However, nothing
cosy about it now; inside it is a huge and splendid beam and rafter Victorian
Village Hall. On our arrival the committee was out in force setting the hall
out Italian style to complement the programme. The full house were being
treated to Pizza supplied by a well known board game chain - about as Italian
as the Dudes!
We
were treated to copious tea and coffee by the lovely Oonagh as well as lasagne
by Natalie, who was directing everything with understated efficiency.
We
had a full house – 110 in all – including 9 year old Lulu, whose birthday it
was and who was celebrating by seeing the Opera Dudes – that’s a new accolade
for us. Not only that, she stayed awake all night – which is more than Neil
does at the opera! However, she got very worried at the bit in the second half when
Neil puts his coat on and walks out of the room - she could be heard saying
'he's not really leaving, is he?'!
Tim and I had a great night, with many lovely comments after the show¡
‘What fantastic voices!’
‘I know they had to go, but I could have listened to them singing for hours’
‘We’re lucky to have such high quality performers in our village hall’
‘We had a great evening; it’s our first time here, we’ll certainly come again'
‘I wasn’t sure what to expect but they won me round and really made me laugh’- from a reluctant husband
‘Good all-round entertainment’
‘Beautiful voices and really funny’
‘I’d definitely go to see them again’
The only ‘extra’ some of our audience asked for was even more of your beautiful singing - maybe something from the West End?
