The Cambridge Chamber Ensemble Presents

Thomas Arne's Summer Delight - Thomas & Sally

July 18 - 20, 2025

The Cambridge Chamber Ensemble presents Thomas Arne’s 1760 chamber opera Thomas and Sally, a comic masterpiece in which a rich and pompous fellow, egged on by Dorcas, the town busybody, is no match for Sally’s true love. Sally and Thomas sadly contemplate their upcoming separation, as sailor Thomas leaves on a long voyage. But village busybody Dorcas urges wealthy local Squire to court Sally. Who will triumph in this love triangle?

Don’t miss this delightful summer romp written for the 1760’s London stage and now magically transported to 1950’s Rockport MA! Accompanied by a Baroque chamber ensemble. Perfect for the entire family.
