ROMSEY Abbey will be hosting a new melodrama to raise money for charity.

The abbey will host Vox Humana and Gregoriana on Tuesday, July 11, with the performance held at 7.30pm.

The performance, directed by Julien Chilcott-Monk, is based on St John Henry Newman’s poem The Faith and Joy of Gerontius and features Neil Nisbet as Gerontius and Sarah Bullen as a Guardian Angel.
