The Saints and Sinners Show
Hinckley Concordia Theatre:
Three performances only
14th–16th October 2010
Doors open 1900

Whether you are a saint or a sinner, discover who wins when Heaven meets Hell in the ultimate singing competition. The Saints and Sinners Show features Stanley Opera’s principals and chorus, actors from Caramba Theatre Company and dancers from the Loughborough Academy of Dance. With such an array of talent on stage, this is a show that no saint or sinner should miss.
Not only will you hear some of the greatest numbers from musical theatre and a handful of operatic greats, but you will also discover one or two things you never knew about Heaven. How virtuous do you really have to be to get into Heaven? What part does good knitting play in the revised entry requirements? Can you get in if you’re tone-deaf? And what about Hell? Find out precisely where it is and what Lucifer lets you get away with when he’s not looking.
One thing is certain. You’ll have a thoroughly entertaining night out at the Concordia Theatre as Stanley Opera get back to doing what they do best — singing. Tickets are available now. Book here online now or call our hotline on 01455 848194 and make sure you don’t miss this original and very special concert production.

The Carnival in Venice has always been a time and a place for extravagant masks, dazzling costumes and quite outrageous behaviour. With this setting, Stanley Opera’s 2011 production of Verdi’s Rigoletto promises to be one of the most spectacular events in the Midlands theatre calendar. This Hinckley premiere will be directed by Nick Bacon, conducted by Janet Ward and will feature the principals and full chorus of Stanley Opera. Full casting details will follow.
Four performances of Rigoletto are planned, with the opening night scheduled for Friday 15th April and with three further performances on Tuesday 19th, Thursday 21st and Saturday 23rd April (Easter Saturday). With a gripping storyline and a gut-wrenching climax, Rigoletto is one of the greatest operas and one of the most entertaining of all theatrical experiences. Make a note of the performance dates now so that you won’t forget to book your tickets for this exciting premiere production.
PS. Look out too for a series of Mask Workshops, for adults and children, that will take place at the Concordia Theatre in the weeks before the show. You will be able to make decorative Venetian masks under expert supervision and the best masks will appear in an exhibition at the theatre. The very best masks will appear on stage in the production of Verdi’s Rigoletto. More details will appear on this site in due course.
