Singing Sommeliers
Comedy Opera Act
Singing Sommeliers comedy opera couple. Hilarious and beautiful feature entertainment. Two bickering experts take you on a journey in this fun and interactive variety act for private parties and corporate functions.
This show really has nothing to do with wine. It’s more about the pomp and ceremony. Two professional ‘wine guides’ introduce themselves as “Sommeliers”. The banter between the two “professionals” however, is far more engaging than the subject at hand.
One Sommelier is serious about wine. Her male colleague clearly is … a fool.
As this comedic presentation builds, the male sommelier turns his attention to a woman in the audience, comparing her to a silky smooth Chardonnay. “She is more than a woman…she is an opera!” he exclaims, bursting into song and espousing how all woman are like wine.
The female Sommelier strips off her apron – revealing a glamorous gown underneath. She sings Carmen’s Habanera replacing the original French lyrics with a humorous English translation – all about men! “I need a man to wine and dine me” Low and behold, she bumps into an “ex-lover” (a guest) – and the fun continues!
In a blow-up suit, “Pavarotti” enters, singing about his life, his women, spaghetti and bizarely enough some tips on tax evasion. Comedy, surprises and inspiring song!
Popular Opera favorites sung by professional Opera Singers – with a comedic twist! Designed to inspire, tease and delight guests.

This raucous theatrical experience constantly shifts gears from low brow to highbrow and back again and will have your guests crying one moment and in stitches the next. (no pun intended) Let Tony and Roberta hijack your night and you will be giving testimony for years to come.
Tony and Roberta mingle among the guests handing out business cards and offering cash loans.
Tony takes it upon himself to make an impromptu speech. As Roberta heckles, He notifies the guests that due to a default on a loan, he is now the proud owner of the venue. To Roberta’s surprise, he announces that as a special token of his appreciation, has organised for Roberta to sing. Roberta is reluctant at first but soon gets over her shyness when she gets the audience clapping and singing along to “HEY MAMBO”
Tony decides that “these people need something classier…Like me” He changes the mood singing the bouncy and energetic aria La donna Mobile – but changes the words so the song is all about Tony. The audience cheer as Tony sings “I’m a classy guy” in a surprisingly operatic tenor voice. Roberta returns and falls in love with a man in the audience hoping Tony won’t find out, she seduces a poor unsuspecting guest right in front of the rest of the party.
From here there is no relief in sight as the audience are eyewitnesses to a magical and wild ride with twists and turns along the way. Costume changes, audience interaction smoke machines and break dancing. It won’t be a quiet affair, and you won’t have time to wonder what will happen next.
