A magical evening at the Opera

S.E.N.S.E. Devon, my Chairman's Charity for the deaf/blind is a well respected Charity and enjoys the support of New Devon Opera who describe themselves as "a small scale opera company but one worthy of international standing" www.newdevonopera.co.uk On a rare rainfree summer evening we gathered in the Courtyard at the home of Lord and Lady Clifford of Ugbrook House, Chudleigh for a performance of La Boheme. The setting was simple, the time the 60's hippy scene, but the superb performances of the opera stars Michaela Bloom (Mimi) Arthur Swan (Rodolfo) plus a lively supporting cast and the orchestra led by Conductor and Director Dr. Paul Foster all combined to produce a magical evening of music and atmosphere in the historic surroundings of Ugbrook.
