Wild Arts (★★★★ The Guardian, ★★★★★ Opera Now) presents an evening of operatic and musical hits, with the beautiful backdrop of St Augustine's Abbey.
Semi-staged by director Guido Martin-Brandis and woven into a new narrative full of dramatic intrigue, jealousy, comedy, idealism, and true love – follow our characters as they travel through 75 minutes of music. From arias and scenes by Handel, Mozart, Rossini, and Britten, to the songs of Richard Rodgers and Stephen Sondheim.
Performed by four fabulous singers and a world-class string quintet. A sparkling and mischievous summer treat.
'Royal Opera House standard, choices excellent, the quality terrific and the staging exactly right.' Libby Purvis, The Times on our Opera Evening
'Spectacular doesn’t even begin to do it justice! Wow.'
