  3. Seguidilla, from Carmen - Georges Bizet

Hilary Summers, a ridiculously tall Welsh contralto and Grammy Award-winner, joins Andrew West, a shorter English pianist, for a hilarious romp through the highs and lows of opera. With songs especially composed by the duo alongside performances of beloved arias from the operatic canon, absurd plots, gender fluidity, modern music and voice categorisation all come under scrutiny. The performance culminates in Summers/West Productions’ Essential Magic Flute – a one-woman, 25-minute reduction of Mozart’s masterpiece.
