Turkish Delight the Opera is an exciting brand new musical-opera by Giles Howe and Katy Lipson. It is a tragi-comedy, and has been performed three times in London so far, to an extatic reception. A further concert of pieces was performed in Stockholm, Sweden.

The music is neither classical opera nor average musical theatre, you will have to listen to it yourself to tick it into a box!
 

If you only get the chance to listen to one or two songs, we sugest you have a flick through as each song is different, and also Act I and Act II have very different feelings!
 

Both the style of singing and the atmosphere is entireley different in the cast albums Live At St Mary's, Live At The Black Cap, and the newest recoridng - a studio recording of the latest production's cast, featuring Adam McNab, Adam Smith, Magoria Edler, and Silje Lervik Aarflot.

Turkish Delight the opera by Giles Howe and Katy Lipson is possibly the strangest thing you will have seen in a while. A musical-opera featuring a strong cast of only four singers, it tells the dramatic story of an ill-fated love affair and the effect it would have on it's participants.

Half-way between an opera and a musical but *nothing* like the operetta, it has created a genre all of it's own; taking the depth of drama and vocal agility of the opera and blending it with the accessibility of musical theatre to create it's own identity. The show is full of paradox - it is both hilariously funny and deeply tragic and will make you laugh despite being about insanity, rage, adultery, murder, suicide, extradition, and poisoning.

It explores the pleasures and perils of revenge, following the final chapters in Betsy Cohen's life. She is a stir-crazy Turkish Jewish woman whose husband's extramarrital affair drives her over the edge into a dangerous insanity. She finds her long-misplaced strength of character through her rage and vengeance, which ultimately eats her alive!
