SUMMARY:THE OPERA SINGER
DESCRIPTION:BOOK ONLINE HERE \nThis is not just a performance — it’s an experience you will carry with you long after the lights go down. \nTheatre on the Square is thrilled to welcome back the extraordinary Fiona Ramsay and Janna Ramos-Violante in a production that has audiences leaning in\, holding their breath\, and leaving changed. \nFiona Ramsay delivers a mesmerising\, no-holds-barred performance alongside the honey-voiced Owain Rhys-Davies\, in a work that is intimate\, immersive and deceptively cinematic. The line between theatre and film blurs as you are drawn deep into the inner world of a creative soul — a life driven by obsession\, discipline and the relentless pursuit of perfection. \nThis is a rare\, unflinching look at what it truly costs to devote yourself to art. The beauty. The sacrifice. The damage. The moments no one warns you about. \nWritten and directed by Janna Ramos-Violante\, this is bold\, raw storytelling at its finest — the kind of production people talk about afterwards\, urge their friends to see\, and wish they could experience again for the first time.
