 'Royal Opera House standard, choices excellent, the quality terrific and the staging exactly right.'
Libby Purvis, The Times on our Opera Evening

Enjoy a beautiful summer evening in the gardens with picnics, drinks and some of the best-loved music ever written.

Director Guido Martin-Brandis has crafted a fresh narrative using favourite arias and scenes from operas by Handel, Mozart, Puccini and Rossini, alongside songs from classic musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Bernstein and Noel Coward. 

Semi-staged and performed by four outstanding singers accompanied by a world-class string quintet, the story unfolds over 75 minutes of spellbinding music. Follow our cast of characters through a drama filled with intrigue, jealousy, comedy, idealism, and, ultimately, true love.

Highlights include The Flower Duet from Lakmé by Delibes, Overture to William Tell by Rossini, the Jewel Song from Gounod's Faust, Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better from Annie Get your Gun, On the Street Where You Live from My Fair Lady and many more. 

A sparkling and mischievous summer treat!
