Park House Opera 2024

Another magical summer evening of music, food and wine in July 2024 - delivered!

IT’S A WRAP!

IT'S A WRAP!

Sam and I were thrilled to host the wonderful Duchy Opera for our fourth year here at Park House. With over 700 guests over 4 nights, dare I suggest that it was the best ever? Those of us who saw real bats flying across the beautifully lit stage on the last night will certainly never forget it!

Thanks to all of you who came - first timers and regulars alike - without your patronage and word-of-mouth, it would be impossible to make this happen. Duchy Opera (and of course their Directors, Soloists, Orchestra and Crew) were definitely the main event, and their professionalism, energy and talent were delightful!

We also must thank the incredibly generous sponsors - Ocean BMW, Michael Spiers, NFU Mutual, B&O Truro, and Lotus Belle Tents (who also supplied the delightful bar tent!) whose contribution allows us to keep the ticket prices affordable. The amazing local businesses, many of whom also kindly donate to the event, include Old Chapel Cellars' wonderful wines, Philleigh Way's outstanding catering, Rose Bakery's delicious Opera Cake, Wildlife Botanicals Fizz, Tarquins Gin, Navas Drinks and Callestick Ice Creams. Our thanks also to Brew Cornwall and Tidal Coffee who kindly stepped in at the last minute to keep us caffeinated!

Heartfelt thanks to Amanda from Wavemedia and Zeb from Zebrafinch who kept us all informed online and through social media. St Eval's beautiful candles and Atlantic Blankets kept is warm into the night, and the wonderful lights from LightUpCornwall were enchanting! As ever, we are deeply indebted to the legendary Martin Nixon for his wonderful branding and programme design, and our personal thanks go out to all the wonderful volunteers and staff who make it all run smoothly, as well as our friends and neighbours who helped put tents up and clear up after the event!

We really hope to do this again next year, so please spread the word and BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY, as Traviata will be another sellout!

Watch this space for photos and videos from this year, and please send through your own favourites from the event for us to share. Warm, warm wishes, Robert and Sam.
