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”
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 soon 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, frequently walking amongst them and involving audience members in the dialogue. It's a brilliantly accessible and fun way to present classical music. We are currently raising funds to pay for developing My My My Delilah. If you love what we do, and want to help contribute to the significant initial outlay we have to make to get this show on the road ready for Autumn 2026, please follow this link to donate some money!
