MEMBERS of Opera North are set to raise the roof at the Parish Church of St Nicholas with St John, in Church Lane, Rossendale, on October 5.

All four singers on the bill are currently involved in operas and galas performing around the region.

The programme, which begins at 7pm, will include excerpts from Verdi's Rigoletto, the famous duet from The Pearl Fishers by Bizet, and many lively solos.

Tickets are £5 from the tourist information office in Kay Street, Rawtenstall, or can be paid for on the door. All proceeds will go to the NSPCC.
