THE Bromley-based Opera Nova group is staging a concert which pairs popular musicals with their opera counterparts, where both were inspired by the same story. The show, entitled Double Take, features favourite Broadway hits alongside classic arias.

Romeo and Juliet will be accompanied by West Side Story, while Miss Saigon is paired with Madam Butterfly.

The concert features Opera Nova's amateur chorus joined by professional soloists.

Opera Nova presents Double Take, September 23. Hayes Village Hall, Hayes Street, 7.30 pm, tickets £8, box office 020 8658 6249.
