A live opera event on the Big Screen in Dover Market Square yesterday (8 June) has been welcomed as a success after around 150 people came along to enjoy The Royal Opera House's performance of Carmen - with people travelling from various parts of Kent for the special broadcast.
The event began with Gareth Malone from BBC's The Choir leading the BP Summer Big Screens Carmen Sing Along live from Trafalgar Square. Participants from fourteen locations across the UK, including Dover, were able to join in with The Toreador Song from Carmen, and be part of what The Royal Opera House described as one of the biggest opera sing alongs it has ever conducted. The Royal Opera's Carmen was then beamed live from Covent Garden from 7pm.
