INTERNATIONAL opera star Sean Ruane is heading home for Christmas with a special one-off appearance in Bacup.
The tenor will perform a new show at Bacup’s Royal Court and will also be joined on stage by members of Bytes – the Bacup Youth Theatre – and youngsters from the after-school performing arts club PAASC for a show that will have a special festive theme.
Sean said: “I’m really looking forward to it. It should be a very special night.
“I love playing concerts in my home town because the support I get from the audience is unique.”
In recent weeks he has been starring in a sell-out UK tour of Madame Butterfly in which he has been performing the role of Pinkerton.
Before the December date he will be singing at two major fun runs organised by Nova International, the company behind the Great Manchester Run and the Great Northern Run.
Sean will also be singing at his brother’s wedding in Rossendale next month.
Sean Ruane is at Bacup’s Royal Court on Sunday, December 11. Tickets for the show are priced at £15. Call the Royal Court Theatre box office on 01706 874080.
