It does not get more Georgian than this...

As part of the York Georgian Festival, Join Holy Trinity Church for a rehearsed reading of The Raree Show or The Fox Trap't, first performed in York in 1739.

Although described as an “Opera” on its title piece, there is no singing here. This 18th-century entertainment was not 'opera' as we know it today but comic dialogue with lyrics set to popular tunes of the day. In this case, we no longer even know the tunes so, on this occasion, the performance will be entirely spoken.
