HAVANT LIGHT OPERA PRESENTS
The Sorcerer
First performed in 1877, The Sorcerer was the first full-length opera by Gilbert & Sullivan, crammed with delightful songs, witty dialogue and archetypal satire. At the behest of a wellmeaning but thoroughly misguided patrician,a mysterious ‘dealer in magic and spells’administers a love-potion to an entire village. Enjoy the inevitable and hilarious consequences as the inhabitants of the village form passionate,and entirely unsuitable, attachments to each other.

Zoe Schwarz and Rob Koral Jazz Quintet

In Zoë’s words “Performing jazz is about having a conversation; the same song is different every time, totally depending on the mood of all the other musicians involved and the atmosphere around.”

Zoë has performed in many guises over the years, mostly in modern improvisational and classical music, and intermittently in rock and pop bands. Rob Koral has been on the jazz scene for a couple of decades, and has played at Ronnie Scott’s, The Barbican, and the Festival Hall, among others and at the country’s top jazz fes-tivals.
