An Evening of Opera

Wild Arts (★★★★ The Guardian, ★★★★★ Opera Now) presents an evening of operatic and musical hits, in the stunning 11th-century Berkeley Castle.

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

Semi-staged by director James Hurley 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.

You are welcome to arrive from 5pm to set up your picnic on the lawn and open the bubbly. Bring whatever you need to make yourselves comfortable – picnic rugs, tables, chairs and hampers are all welcome. The performance will start at 6pm and there will be an hour’s picnic interval. The show will be finished at 8.30pm or very shortly thereafter.
