MWO is back! — two fully staged operas complete with
orchestras. Mid Wales Opera was founded in Meifod and
after much preparation staged Figaro at the Hafren
Theatre in 1989. After the 25th anniversary staging of
Carmen in 2014, the following year’s production had to

just £19 a seat (or £30 for both operas) these are absolute
bargains for productions so complex and costly to
produce — and in a small theatre a good view
everywhere (but avoid the ‘balconies’). .
