Five years to the day after writing it, when the nationalists rose up on the outbreak of civil war, Lorca was executed \u2014 and so this dream-like work turned out to possess more than a hint of prophecy.<\/p>\n<p>Lorca himself had said it would be impossible to stage, but The Music Troupe has put together a cast of 8 singers \u2014 playing a total of 14 roles \u2014 to present this operatic adaptation in cabaret-style. The cast includes\u00a0Rosalind Dobson, Lucy Gibbs, Mae Heydorn, Fiona Hymns, Jean-Max Lattemann, Chris Murphy, James Schouten, and Thomas Stevenson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must keep the wheel turning so that opera is shown to be &#8216;cool&#8217; and relevant&#8221;, said Schouten. &#8220;Lambert&#8217;s operas strike a compelling balance between a musical bedrock and theatrical flair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- End Ezoic - Article Insertion 1 - under_page_title --><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And there&#8217;s nothing like great singing!&#8221; said Lambert. &#8220;The Music Troupe was set up to create showpieces for classically-trained singers which would entertain both opera fans and newcomers with something fresh and stimulating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Performances at The Space Theatre are on Tuesday, February 24 at 7 p.m.; Wednesday, February 25 at 7 p.m.; Thursday, February 26 at 7 p.m.; Friday, February 27 at 7 p.m.; and Saturday, February 28 at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nobreak\">\n<p>The performance at The Croft Hall is on Sunday, March 1 at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Ezoic - incontent_41 - incontent_41 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- End Ezoic - incontent_41 - incontent_41 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Whatsapp --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Whatsapp --><\/p>\n<aside>\n<\/aside>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}\n(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init','128124764529976');\nfunction uuidv4(){\n  if (window.crypto && crypto.getRandomValues) {\n    return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(\/[xy]\/g,c=>{\n      const r=crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1))[0]&15, v=c==='x'?r:(r&0x3|0x8); return v.toString(16);\n    });\n  }\n  return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(\/[xy]\/g,c=>{\n    const r=Math.random()*16|0, v=c==='x'?r:(r&0x3|0x8); return v.toString(16);\n  });\n}\nconst fbEventId = uuidv4();\nconst topicParams = {\n  show_name: \"\",\n      region: \"Opera\"\n};\nfbq('track','PageView',{}, {eventID: fbEventId});\nfbq('trackCustom','TheatreTopicView', topicParams, {eventID: fbEventId});\n<\/script><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}\n(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nif (!window.fbq || !window.fbq.loaded) {\n  fbq('init','128124764529976');\n}\nfunction uuidv4(){\n  if (window.crypto && crypto.getRandomValues) {\n    return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(\/[xy]\/g,c=>{\n      const r=crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1))[0]&15, v=c==='x'?r:(r&0x3|0x8); return v.toString(16);\n    });\n  }\n  return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(\/[xy]\/g,c=>{\n    const r=Math.random()*16|0, v=c==='x'?r:(r&0x3|0x8); return v.toString(16);\n  });\n}\nconst fbEventId = uuidv4();\n\/\/ Build topicParams with all available variables\nconst topicParams = {\"region\":\"Opera\"};\n\/\/ Only track if fbq is available and hasn't been tracked yet for this page\nif (window.fbq && typeof window.fbq === 'function') {\n  fbq('track','PageView',{}, {eventID: fbEventId});\n  fbq('trackCustom','TheatreTopicView', topicParams, {eventID: fbEventId});\n}\nfunction getCookie(n){return document.cookie.split('; ').find(r=>r.startsWith(n+'='))?.split('=')[1]||'';}\nfunction toHex(buf){return Array.from(new Uint8Array(buf)).map(b=>b.toString(16).padStart(2,'0')).join('');}\nasync function sha256Hex(s){\n  try{const b=new TextEncoder().encode(s.toLowerCase().trim());const h=await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256',b);return toHex(h);}catch(e){return null;}\n}\n(async()=>{\n  const fbp = getCookie('_fbp') || null;\n  let fbc = getCookie('_fbc') || null;\n  if (!fbc) {\n    const fbClick = getCookie('fb_click_id');\n    if (fbClick) fbc=\"fb.1.\" + Math.floor(Date.now()\/1000) + '.' + fbClick;\n  }\n  let em = null;\n  const emailCookie = getCookie('EMAIL');\n  if (emailCookie) em = await sha256Hex(emailCookie);\n  const payload = {\n    event_id: fbEventId,\n    event_source_url: window.location.href,\n    action_source: 'website',\n    user_data: {\n      fbp,\n      fbc,\n      ...(em ?
