Cast: Tim Armstrong-Taylor, Ian Bloomfield, Cheryl Enever, Lynn Marie Boudreau, Clare Kinson, Melinda Hughes and Paul Badley

Directed by Ian Bloomfield

Set to the music of Mozart and with a champagne sparkling new libretto 'The Perfect Picnic' is a wonderfully light hearted entertainment combining elements of theatre and opera to produce a quintessentially English tale of love and misunderstanding at a summer's Opera Gala in the park.

Tim Armstrong-Taylor and Ian Bloomfield serve up a wonderful smorgasbord of beautiful singing, comedy and drama in this unique piece of 'Opera Theatre.'

Neither an opera nor a play and certainly not music theatre this entertainment demands a new category of its own.

'A light, sophisticated piece of opera theatre...Think of it as a companion piece to the Menier hit revival of Sunday in the Park With George, but with better tunes.' -THE STAGE 'The Gilbertian libretto is full of verbal felicities...seems sure to tour.' -BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE 'The Perfect Picnic is to opera what the iPod is to the gramophone. Its accessibility, simplicity and sleek design make it the impeccable evening’s entertainment' - MY LONDON YOUR LONDON 'The high calibre cast hit just the right notes' - THE LONDONIST 'A show that should give pleasure to many....not only a 'perfect picnic' but also a perfect introduction to what opera is all about.' - CLASSICAL SOURCE 'I look forward to the next production by Opera on The Run with anticipation' - EXTRA!EXTRA! "Saturday' s visit by Opera on the Run was a huge success. This excellent team of young singers, who were highly praised at last year's Edinburgh festival gave the premiere of their production, The Perfect Picnic, a cleverly re-worked entertainment that set Mozart’s music to a modern libretto." - Dartmouth Chronicle 'The Perfect Picnic was the perfect night out...Sophisticated, fresh & funny' Mid-Devon Advertiser “…Terrific – excellent singing, highly original and witty script delivered clearly and with a wonderful sense of fun and real enjoyment.” - Debbie Rigg, Festival Manager Salisbury International Festival 2006
