Here’s your chance to be part of Hatstand Opera history! We’re looking for a show title for our 2011 sequel to “A Laugh at the Opera”, and we’d love your input.
Just one quick note before you start. You know much much fun a Hatstand Opera show is, because you’ve seen us in action before, but a show title has to appeal to you AND those who have never seen us before.
In our poll box below, you’ll see four options, each written as “title: strap line”. (The strap line is the explanation line below the main show title on a poster or flyer.) Just click on the one that you like best.
If you don’t like any of them (and we’re not proud about this), feel free to type in your own version in the last box.
No winners or prizes I’m afraid, but shedloads of appreciation from this end for your contribution!

Hi there from the Roseland Music Society.
Didn’t really like any of the suggested names. All I could come up with was ‘Jocular Opera’ a chuckle of etc…. or wondered about ‘Opera Comique’ but possibly not. Anyway – keep me posted on the outcome.
Best wishes
Janet Axworthy – Secretary
I came up with the following – hope they at least make you smile!
