From a blues performance to an opera screening, there's plenty to enjoy in Taunton over the next week.

An Easter event and a Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman tribute act are also on the agenda.

RBO Live – Siegfried

Wagner’s Siegfried is set to be screened at Taunton Brewhouse this week.

The show will be screened on Thursday, April 2, at 5.15pm.

Directed by Barrie Kosky, the 330-minute production will bring the third part of Wagner's Ring cycle to life.

The opera will follow Siegfried's journey of discovery, featuring a dragon, a shattered sword, a cursed ring, and a slumbering Valkyrie.

Andreas Schager makes his Royal Opera debut as the young hero Siegfried, with Antonio Pappano conducting.

Tickets, priced at £17, are available from tauntonbrewhouse.co.uk/events/rbo-live-siegfried.

Premier Princess Parties will hold the Easter Bunny High Tea event on Good Friday, April 3, at 51 Station Road.

The event begins at 12.30pm and will run for one hour and 15 minutes.

The price of the event is £16 per pair, which includes food and drink.
