The smartest place to be seen on a Sunday afternoon?

Preview by Paul Nelson

FOLLOWING yet another successful evening at the Dulwich Picture Gallery with Di Botcher, Chris Howard and Marc Pollard, the season continues with two more personalities with fabulous voices.

Michael Dore accompanied by Geoff Eales. Michael is a regular on Friday Night is Music Night, and a frequent guest artist with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He has given many European solo performances. He brings his varied choice of music which he features on his recently released CD Simply.

Fresh from her successful performances of Dorothy Fields at the Purcell Rooms and at the Edinburgh Festival Morag McLaren, accompanied by Bruce O'Neill, brings her outrageous and hilarious send-up Opera Fach, which knocks the stuffing out of the stuffier parts of opera.

Tickets are already on sale and nearly all gone for this extremely small and intimate venue, so once again you are urged to put on some speed if you don't want to miss a great evening. Morag is the local Diva of Dulwich and has performed in Phantom of the Opera, and with many of the country's leading opera companies.

Set in the Linbury Room of the Dulwich Picture Gallery, which offers the perfect modern setting for an evening of musical entertainment from some of London's most talented young stars, the autumn cabaret season comprises two acts per evening, with an interval for refreshments. Each ticket bought for one of the events will act as a token providing the visitor with two entrance tickets for the price of one into the Gallery's permanent collection and temporary exhibition.

Shows start at 5.30pm and finish no later than 8.00pm making them the most appropriate and well-timed Sunday evening entertainments in London. Tickets 020 8299 8709: £15 (£13.50 Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery).
