The voices of three opera singers transform the street into an opera house. These fantastic divas sing melodies that captivate young and old. Their beautiful voices contrast with Les Tambours, the drumming toy soldiers who accompany them.
The performance in Weymouth will see three giant dolls in oversized crinoline dresses glide through the streets of Weymouth. Their dresses are adorned with patterns inspired by artists Matisse, Cézanne and Vasarely. The dolls’ operatic voices transform the street into an opera house and you’ll be enthralled by a mix of popular songs and opera arias.

Saturday 23rd September 12pm and 8pm commencing in New Bond Street – Finishing in Hope Square

Hero & Leander, Or, I Love You, But Everything’s Under Water
2023-09-21 19:30 - 20:30 | The Bay Theatre, The Bay Theatre, Weymouth College, Weymouth, DT4 7LQ, United Kingdom
By Jack Dean & Company
Sing, dance and cry with us in this bittersweet outdoor gig theatre show. Six multi-instrumentalists tell an epic seaside tale through songs encompassing folk, indie, sea shanties and choral music. A story of bad rulers, worse weather and how we keep going when everything is flipping terrible.
Two towns, one rich and one poor, stand separated by a narrow strip of ocean. When the borders close and ships stop sailing between them, two lovers are left stranded on either side. Un phased, Leander takes to swimming across the channel to meet Hero, guided by the light of the lighthouse where she lives. But the jealous and vengeful Hephaestus, carrying an ancient grudge, plots to separate them with a flood like neither town has ever seen.
We all know this will probably end badly. But just maybe, this time, it will turn out different…
