Description
The Baroness narrates her eventful riches-to-rags life story with the help of opera and operetta arias, Lieder, and maybe the odd song from a musical. She did it all for the love of art! This mostly sung show is equally fun for the opera lover as the opera-curious. With works by female and male composers across several centuries, it will have something new for everyone. Performed in the original languages with translation woven into the narration. Previously performed as a narrated recital, this Fringe cut is the first staged production.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

The Opera Diva's Boudoir: Top heavy vibrato without bravura. A disappointment as voice and story were totally mismatched.

A lovely selection of classical and contemporary songs set out in an amusing narrative style. Very enjoyable.

Amusing and well sung mix of arias melded into a short and sweet story.
