The Operas that are being performed at the Theatre Royal are:
- The Merry Widow Tuesday 16 November & Thursday 18 November 7.30pm
"A joyous evening of fun and romance is in store, with glorious music, sumptuous period costumes and dazzling choreography.
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."
- The Turn of the Screw Wednesday 17 November 7.30pm
"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."
- The Adventures of Pinocchio Friday 19 November 7pm & Saturday 20 November 2.30pm
"The irresistible story of the wooden boy who longs to be real is brought bursting to life in this musical tale for all the family.
