Childerley Gardens open from 4pm. 75-minute picnic interval.

Wander in the romantic gardens of Childerley Hall and then gather in Childerley’s beautiful 19th century Long Barn for a performance of Mozart’s much-loved opera – Così fan tutte. This delightful comedy of young lovers tying themselves in romantic knots is given a new lease of life in this brand-new production, transposing the action to 1970s Cambridge where a bunch of buttoned up students are about to get a tutorial in love making.

Sung in English, using a new translation by Jeremy Sams and featuring six eminent chamber musicians, this is a fresh realisation by Orlando Jopling and the Wild Arts Ensemble. Jopling works as a guest at the Royal Opera House and Royal Ballet and was Associate Conductor of English National Ballet until 2020. He has conducted over 25 opera productions in Britain and Europe.
