Wedi’i gosod yn India yn ystod ymerodraeth yr 1880au, mae Opera Dinas Abertawe’n cyflwyno Lakmé, wedi’i chanu yn Saesneg a’i chyfeilio gan gerddorfa siambr. Mae’r sgôr gerddorfaol yn hyfryd a, chan fod yr opera’n parhau i fod yn gymharol brin, achubwch ar y cyfle euraidd hwn i glywed a gweld y darn prydferth hwn.

Set in India during the Raj of the 1880s, SCO present Lakmé, sung in English and accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The orchestral scoring is delicious and as the opera remains a relative rarity, don’t miss this golden opportunity to hear and see this beautiful piece.
