First performed in 1781, Mozart was only 25 when he wrote Idomeneo. This piece is now acknowledged as Mozart's first fully fledged masterpiece in the opera house. Now, it is more often performed as a concert piece, which is how it is to be performed by Bath Opera, allowing the magic of the music to shine through. |

Delightful double act Dan and Jeff present their new compressed caper.

For the last sixteen years, Brendon Burns has stormed audiences the world over. His stage presence is electric, his material provocative and his insight surprisingly subtle. He uses his confrontational and up-front style of comedy to capture his audience with a proverbial slap in the face. He is neither politically correct nor incorrect making him a rare socio-political comic willing to oppose all schools of thought. With this in mind, it's no surprise that Burns has been compared to such legends as: Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks. “Just occasionally a comedy show is so good it is like falling in love. You run out, punching the air, feeling full to the brim with lust for life and joy. Long Live Brendon Burns.” ***** The Scotsman |
