Have you seen The Tsar’s Bride yet?  Do you want to discover more about the opera that’s been dubbed ‘Verdi on Vodka’?

Watch our very knowledgeable gentleman of the chorus: Charbel Mattar. We managed to rope him in to give us a quick interview backstage on the first night. He explains all about singing in Russian and the appeal of this Russian gem.

And talking of rope, here are some unofficial Tsar’s Bride production photos taken by another talented chorister, Neil Gillespie.

    Loved it! Glorious sets and wondeful singing - the quartet in the second act is to die for.
