"The most astonishing performance we have ever staged. While measuring up magnificently in sheer musical quality to any of our other concerts, CarmenCo's A Pocket Opera soared fantastically beyond anything that you could call just a concert"  - Aberdeen Chamber Music Concerts review  Nov 2025

Emily Andrews flautist/mezzo

CarmenCo’s new show, "My My My Deiliah!" will be ready in Autumn 2026, and already has promoters queueing up to book it after the success of their “A Pocket Opera” which was hugely popular when it came to Rook Lane Chapel in

70% music and 30% spoken word, My My My Delilah! is a riotous concert-play in which the Bible's most notorious femme fatale finally gets to tell her side of the story. What really motivated her betrayal of Samson? Was she chasing fame, settling scores, or simply fed up with all that hair?

Packed with virtuosic live music, sharp comedy and unexpected twists, this irreverent tale of rivalry, superstardom, power and vanity features music from some of opera's greatest hits, ingeniously reimagined for CarmenCo Trio's unique combination of flute/voice and two guitars.

​The new show from the trio behind A Pocket Opera, My My My Delilah! is a witty, exhilarating mix of classical music, storytelling and comedy that audiences won't forget.

As with A Pocket Opera, the three musicians perform entirely from memory, enabling them to act with each other, and to engage the audience members in the show. It's a brilliantly accessible and fun way to present classical music.
