A distinctive new opera which saw its opening premiere in Norwich is to return for a performance to be streamed over the internet.
Angelis, composed by local musician Elizabeth Dark, is an original score and features a medieval tale of forbidden love.
The opera was first performed at the Dragon Hall earlier this year in an hour-long concert version in front of a sell-out crowd and popular acclaim.
It is now returning for two more performances in Norwich and one of the shows will be broadcast live on the web from Epic Studios.
Elizabeth is currently transforming the score and libretto into a full staged opera, which it is hoped to be ready by the end of the year.
Angelis is set in in medieval Ireland and is the story of the tragic and uplifting relationship between between Osana, a nun, and Jordain, a monk.
It is a modern musical in that it covers a wide range of musical styles and while the story is medieval, the themes and relevance is utterly modern and relevant.
The first marks on the score were made in July 2010 and the concert version of the show premiered at the Dragon Hall in Norwich, January 22nd, 2012. It was also pouplar at its performances in the 2012 Holt Festival and Wells Granary Theatre.
It is being performed on October 7th at the Walter Roy Theatre, Hewett School, Norwich, to raise money for the East Anglia Children’s Hospital.
The streamed live performance will take place on Sunday, October 21, at Epic Studios in Magdalen Street, Norwich.
Work is continuing to transform the performance into a full-scale opera, which will encompass Celtic, Latin, rock, classical and folk music.

“Good course with refreshing content. Great value for money.”
Headlines:
✓ Gas and Electricity Wholesale prices have fallen further.
✓ EU Gas Storage levels are a reduced 70% full.
✓ More LNG shipments should be available from February with Freeport due to reopen.
✓ EU Gas Storage levels are 96% full.
As of the 6th of February, Gas and Electricity Year Ahead Wholesale costs were lower, when compared to last month’s report and back to levels seen in 2021.
Oil struggles to find price direction and has fallen from $82 to $81 per barrel, hitting a high of $88. It is thought the members of OPEC+ are unlikely to change the current productions levels, in an attempt to inflate the price. Although EU Gas Storage levels have reduced from 84% to 70% over the last month, it remains a positive position compared to the concerns through 2022, when it was feared restrictions on use may need to be enforced. Thoughts are already turning to the requirements for winter 2023/24. LNG deliveries continue to be made and can now be
shipped direct to the new German facilities. Additional supplies are also expected soon as the US Freeport LNG terminal is due back online shortly, following the fire last year.
Gas is an expensive form of Electricity generation and sets the Wholesale price, despite the high contribution of much cheaper Wind. A market review is looking at how Renewables could be priced separately, but in the meantime has seen the government increase Green generator’s tax, to help fund some of the support measures in place. The Met Office forecast is for seasonal norm temperatures and regional windy conditions at times in February.
