A comedy of bad manners which starts with the arrival of four guests, invited independently by different members of the Bliss family for a weekend at their country house. The promise of an idyllic and peaceful weekend is quickly trounced by the self-absorbed eccentricities of the family.
HGO presents a new production of Domenico Cimarosa’s masterpiece of opera buffa, ‘THE SECRET MARRIAGE’. ‘What a treat to bring Cimarosa’s sparkling, effervescent opera to life’, says director SINÉAD O’NEILL. ‘It was an immediate hit in 1792, and it’s easy to see why. Fast-paced, with direct, well-drawn characters, tangled love affairs, confusion and misunderstandings, it is light-hearted, touching, and charming.’

Artworks inspired by the theme 50:50 will feature in an exciting new exhibition by more than 30 members of the East Finchley Open Artists (EFOA).
The exhibition features paintings, original prints, photographs and wall-mounted three-dimensional work including textiles and ceramics that interpret the theme 50:50 in a variety of ways, from half-and-half, positive/negative, or literally 50x50cm square.
All of the artists have prepared new works especially for the exhibition. Among them, David Waller explores the idea of twins in a large wall-hung mixed media piece; Christine Watson focuses on the simplicity of the rise and fall of steps at Trajan’s Market in her mezzotint; Cathy Burkinshaw presents a split-screen take on nature in her mixed media work Portobello Road; and photographer Peter Kyte juxtaposes two angled facades of buildings in Sheffield.
Founded in 2004, East Finchley Open Artists is a group of artists and craftspeople – including painters, printers, photographers, ceramicists, glass makers, jewellers, sculptors, textile artists and basket makers – ranging from those who are starting out in their creative careers to well-established professional artists and lecturers.
