Performed in English with English surtitles and complete with exquisite music played by a 16 piece orchestra, The Elixir of Love is one of Donizetti’s most frequently staged operas and a classic will they? won’t they? story packed with warmth and romance. Cold fish and chips, a windy seaside town and melted ice cream set the scene for our new production.

A brutally relevant and chilling exploration of the abuse of power, The Rape of Lucretia shows the darkest reaches of human nature and the perseverance of hope in a piece underscored by beautiful music and lyricism from one of the UK’s greatest composers.
