OPERETTA AND MUSICAL COMEDY REIMAGINED
Celebrating the magical world of operetta and musical comedy by harnessing the winning formula that made the 80s hit series of the same name so successful. Ideally, recorded again at the same stately home with live sound, and using an ensemble cast of the four voices plus a star guest artist.
The repertoire is extensive with 100s of operettas to select from each week and countless composers. The genre is regarded as 'popular' and 'light classical', therefore tunes are memorable and the repertoire dates from about 1850 (Paris) and lasted for around 100 years. With a cast of classically trained singers the programme structure would accommodate re-editing for a variety of markets and secondary exploitation. Most likely, to be recorded live again at the same location as, to our understanding it is still equipped for the recording and realisation of a show of this technical complexity.

I loved the mixture of well known and rarely heard numbers and the fact that the details of each song were clearly displayed on the screen. The setting was super and of course you employed wonderful singers. You can't imagine Channel 4 broadcasting a show like that now sadly. |
