Kiss me, Figaro!

Kiss me, Figaro! An Opera about an Opera. Nine professional Opera Singers take to The Scoop, (so named as it seems as if they have taken an ice-cream scoop to the concrete) to entertain an audience of tourists, commuters and passers-by.

They open with an odd warm up: walking through the stage and conversing through song as if there were not a large confused crowd 2 meters away staring expectantly.

At last it seems it is about to start. Everyone shuffles on the stone steps to settle in for a spectacular show...Alas! Alack! The male lead has fallen ill! The show cannot go on! But wait, who is this proudly standing above the rest?

"I know the part! I shall be your male lead!"

 

 

And from there the show begins.

 

Heart breaking at times, completely odd at others, this show was both hilarious and beautiful. 

  

Located right beside Tower Bridge, More London is easy to get to - either take a leisurely stroll long The Thames from embankment or Blackfriars, get the bus or hop off the tube at London Bridge Station.

 

It's a really wonderful area, filled with beautiful sights - the tower of London is just across the water, along with St Pauls and obviously Tower Bridge isn't a bad sight either.
