The Mermaid of Rye – Donors’ Event

We invite you to become a founder-benefactor for the birth of a new opera:

“Put your name on the page!”

‘there’s no such thing as a free libretto…’

Saturday, October 10th, 6pm at The Uplands, Maze Hill, St Leonards TN38 0HL

What is the vision? In collaboration with internationally recognised librettist duo Stephen Plaice and Marcia Bellamy, distinguished composer Dominique Le Gendre is creating an original love story between a mermaid and a sea-captain that tells the astonishing story of Rye over four centuries. Her company, StrongBack Productions, is co-producing with Barefoot Opera, and we have already established strong links with the Marsh choirs, Rye Youth Zone, Music Lifeline (a new Rye-based children’s choir) and Rebekah Gilbert’s Rye Bay Crew.

Yes! I would like to be a founder-benefactor for the libretto of The Mermaid of Rye.

 Yes! I would like to be a founder-benefactor and I would like to donate more than £200.
