2024 saw our first large scale cabaret style evening set at Forum North, Vocal Embers incorporated torch songs, musical theatre, pop and contemporary takes on classics such as Annie Lennox’s haunting remake of Dido’s Lament. Conceived and directed by Maria Satterfield with collaboration from Sarah Whittles, Delwyn Rusk and Roger McClean, the show was a mammoth success. The Opera North Committee outdid themselves catering, decorating and hosting the evening. This show sold out 3 weeks prior to the night, and with 1/3 of the chorus being new members, it totally re-invigorated the society!
