SYNOPSIS

Welcome to the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, home to music, theatrics, and a masked ghost… where dying on stage is a bit more than just a metaphor. Young not-quite-a-witch, Agnes Nitt has left her home in Lancre to seek a career at the Opera House. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, on their way to Ankh-Morpork for... unrelated reasons... would much rather she return home and join their coven.

Opera is nothing if not dramatic, and now all three are caught up in a maelstrom of masked mayhem and maniacal laughter (delivered via handwritten note), but most certainly not featuring a precariously hanging chandelier. As the corpses pile up and the corps de ballet clamour for additional hazard pay, only one thing is certain – the show must go on!

MUSIC

Maskerade Questa Maldetta, Barber of Seville La Ran Le La Ra & Bizet Habanera.

Title track provided by Ben Waller.
