But this year for the first time the Fringe will be featuring some grown-up opera. An Olivier Award-winning company will be staging Opera Cocktail – an innovative evening of some of the best-loved arias, duets and ensembles in a fun, modern setting. Songs from La Boheme, Carmen and La Traviata are among those featured by a trio of some fantastic singers and a virtuoso pianist.

The evening will take place at Wanstead Golf Club on Thursday 13 September. Tickets are £20 and are available from the Wanstead Fringe website here.
