The Merry Widow
Lehár
An exuberant evening of fun and romance with glorious music, sumptuous period costumes and dazzling dancing, choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood.
This new production, set in 1905, infuses Parisian sensuality with Viennese sophistication as the young, beautiful and exceptionally wealthy widow, Hanna Glawari seeks a new husband who will love her for herself and not her fortune.
With a glittering cast and creative team, this timeless classic will be a treat.
Conductor:Wyn Davies
Director: Giles Havergal
Sung in English
Lasts approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.
A co-production with Opera Australia
The Turn of the Screw
Britten
Britten's edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller is based on a chilling Henry James ghost story, recently televised by the BBC.
A governess fights to protect two children from malignant spirits, but are the spirits real or is the governess unstable? And what evil occurred before her arrival?
Britten's hauntingly atmospheric music winds up the tension to breaking point, and this 1920s-set production will grip from first note to last.
Conductor:Richard Farnes
Director:Alessandro Talevi
Sung in English
Lasts approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.
