CLÁSSICO

"Closing Time" is a raucous and witty comic opera track that perfectly captures the universal chaos of a pub's final call. With jaunty rhythms and sharp, humor-laden lyrics, this piece takes listeners on a boozy journey from the last hurried sips of beer to the kebab-laden stumble home.

The playful verses weave a tapestry of late-night camaraderie, complete with impatient landlords, questionable food choices, and the eternal quest for "just one more." From the absurd stampede out the door to the greasy glow of Stavros' kebab shop, every detail is drenched in comedic flair and relatable antics.

Beneath the hilarity lies a nod to the bittersweet ritual of nights spent chasing fleeting joy, ending with the promise of tomorrow's inevitable repeat. Lighthearted yet grounded, "Closing Time" is a delightful blend of operatic whimsy and pub culture hilarity, making it a track to sing (or shout) along to with a pint in hand. Cheers! 🍻

Leaves on the Line – An Operatic Ballad About the British Commute

From BRITS, Tom Connell’s satirical deep dive into British life, comes Leaves on the Line—a beautifully dramatic ballad about the daily struggles of the UK’s famously unreliable rail system. Featuring the stunning mezzo-soprano of Emily Arden and performed by the London Contemporary Opera Society, this piece transforms every commuter’s frustration into a sweeping operatic lament.

With soaring melodies, heartfelt despair, and a touch of British irony, Leaves on the Line captures the absurdity of train delays, signal failures, and weather-induced cancellations with grandeur and grace. It’s a must-listen for anyone who has ever stared helplessly at a departure board, waiting for a train that may never come.

English Summer – An Operatic Tribute to the One Sunny Day a Year

From BRITS, Tom Connell’s satirical celebration of British life, comes English Summer—a grand operatic anthem worshipping that rare and glorious day when the sun actually shines in the UK. Featuring the powerful vocals of Julian Westbrook and performed by the London Contemporary Opera Society, this piece captures the sheer euphoria (and inevitable sunburn) that comes with 24 hours of unexpected warmth.

With sweeping melodies and tongue-in-cheek grandeur, English Summer paints a dramatic picture of BBQs, overcrowded beaches, and Brits desperately making the most of the sunshine before the rain inevitably returns. A must-listen for anyone who knows the true fleeting beauty of a British summer!
