POPERA: Sex, Death & Politics

Welcome to POPERA: Sex, Death & Politics with Uma Dobia, your game show host for the night. Get ready to spin the wheel, shake your maracas and ding your dong as Popera delivers the most iconic moments of opera coupled with pop!

Questions abound such as, why did Trevor leave? Will he ever come back? What’s ‘cockrockera’? Who will win the air fryer? And, why is our diva having a meltdown?

Directed by Bronny Lane, the show features original songs, video, audience interaction and plenty of pop culture and operatic references for the die-hard fans unsure if they’re more Madonna or Maria Callas based on their Spotify wrapped.

If you love your cabaret dirty with an intellectual twist thrown in then get ready for swearing, trilling, and rapping as we play POPERA: Sex, Death & Politics - a show by Little Train Creative.
