The Mikado - Open Air Opera

2pm & 7pm Performances!



Join us as we turn The cloisters into Ancient Room for a stunning performance of The Mikado.



A new production directed by Tristan Stocks. The Mikado now set in Ancient Rome in Opera Anywhere’ s ingenious new production, “The Emperor of Rome”–is a sparklingly clever story with twists and turns at every scene. Familiar characters, including the Lord High Executioner, Koko and Nanki-Poo, find themselves in a new setting as they compete for the hand of Yum Yum, whilst trying not to fall foul of the emperor’s displeasure and lose their head! With well-known songs including “I’ve got a little list”, “Three little maids from school” and many more, you can sing along to this hilarious journey with a fresh take on a well-loved story.



This is an open air production. Bring a Picnic and a blanket or low chair.
Drinks and Ice creams available.



Suitable for opera fans of all ages.
