Play Opera LIVE Shipwrecked!

23rd May @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
£10 – £20

Our fearless captain, Tom Redmond may be stranded on a desert island but we’re not that worried, as he’s in great company with his trusty crew of the WNO Orchestra and singers. Together, we will introduce you to the orchestra’s many instruments with melodies that take you on a journey accompanying our talented singers through story, song, and of course, the swashbuckling music, from stage and screen which are our absolute favourites to perform.

This interactive and educational show, for all the family, is the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of opera and classical music. The relaxed vibe will allow you to fully lose yourself in the music, story and drama as we charter the waves and bring Tom and our crew back to dry land.

And the adventure doesn’t stop there! Before you board HMS WNO, join us in the foyer to experience the backstage magic of opera during our free pre-show foyer activities, available from 1pm. Explore our costumes, make your own props and test your skills on lighting and sound stations. If that’s not enough, there’s even a treasure hunt – but make sure you find it before those pesky pirates!

Approximately one hour with no interval

Join in the fun and dress up ready to set sail on a daring adventure!

Mae ein capten dewr, Tom Redmond yn sownd ar ynys ddiffaith, ond nid ydym yn poeni’n ormodol gan ei fod yng nghwmni gwych ei griw, sef Cerddorfa a chantorion ffydlon WNO. Gyda’n gilydd, byddwn yn eich cyflwyno i amryw o offerynnau’r gerddorfa, ynghyd â’r alawon y fydd yn eich tywys ar daith yng nghwmni ein cantorion talentog drwy ganeuon, straeon ac wrth gwrs, y gerddoriaeth wych o’r llwyfan a’r sgrîn, ein ffefrynnau i’w perfformio!

Mae’r sioe ryngweithiol ac addysgiadol hon sy’n addas i’r teulu cyfan yn gyflwyniad perffaith i fyd anhygoel opera a cherddoriaeth glasurol. Bydd y naws ymlaciol yn eich galluogi i ymgolli’n llwyr yn y gerddoriaeth, y stori a’r ddrama wrth i ni fentro dros y tonnau a dod a Tom â’i griw yn ôl i dir sych.

Nid dyma yw diwedd yr antur! Cyn i chi fynd ar HMS WNO, ymunwch â ni yn y cyntedd i brofi hud cefn llwyfan opera yn ystod ein gweithgareddau cyn y sioe, o 1pm. Dewch i weld ein gwisgoedd, gwneud eich propiau eich hun a phrofi eich sgiliau mewn gorsafoedd goleuo a sain. Os nad yw hynny’n ddigon, mae yna helfa drysor – ond, gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod yn darganfod y trysor cyn y môr-ladron drygionus!

Mae’r perfformiad yn para tua awr, ac nid oes egwyl

Ymunwch a’r hwyl a gwisgwch lan yn eich gwisg mor leidr orau!
