• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Genesis

  Golden Years was commissioned by the Tête à Tête Opera Festival 2009 as a Lite Bite, intended to be taken on the streets of Hammersmith to lure the public to the festival. It was conceived in an afternoon sipping tea at the Young Vic café and was inspired by Acorn Antiques and a mutual affection for all things granny-related.

  Synopsis

  Under the careful guidance of musical director Jeremy Patent-Leather, septuagenarian soprano Lavinia Greengarden, is about to take to the stage in the most wildly anticipated show of her career. Aided by lifelong friend, Toots Mulholland and celebrated clarinettist, Nora Queensway, Ms Greengarden is set to present her sprightly selection of arias in front of none other than Claudine d’Armoire, the Arts Council funding co-ordinator for Clapton. Then, disaster strikes! Will Lavinia see her dreams dashed at the last moment? Will Jeremy’s angina flare up? Will Toots get the grass stains out of her new summer frock? Well, there’s only one way to find out! Which is to say, by watching the show.
