ARTS / Opera Offer: IoS nights at ENO

AS REGULAR readers will know, the Independent on Sunday has this season got together with English National Opera to arrange a series of 'IoS Nights' at the London Coliseum, giving readers the chance to see top-class opera at about 30 per cent off usual prices.

The last opera in this series is an acclaimed revival: of Philip Prowse's colourful 1987 production of The Pearl Fishers. Bizet's classic opera is set in ancient Ceylon and features one of the most famous duets of all, 'Au fond du temple saint', for tenor and baritone, sung here by John Hudson and Jonathan Summers.

Readers are invited to book now for the

performance of The Pearl Fishers on Friday 8 April. Tickets are available in the stalls and dress circle at around 30 per cent off English National Opera's usual prices. Seats in the stalls and at the front of the dress circle cost pounds 28 -

a saving of pounds 11.50; seats in the rest of the

dress circle cost pounds 20 - a saving of pounds 9.50. To book, either call in at the Coliseum, St Martin's Lane, London WC2, or ring the box office on 071-836 3161, quoting the reference INDOS. The box office is open from 10am to 8pm Monday to Saturday.

Offer subject to availability.
