Description
Do you remember what happened in the Forest of Athens?
Puck does. It’s been a while since A Midsummer Night's Dream and Athens is changing. The forest is being chopped down, and with each tree felled, more magic disappears from the land!
Join Puck, Cassie and Mylas in their quest to find Oberon and Titania, stop the felling and restore the wonder to the beautiful forest.
This magical production, written especially for children, is brought to you by The English Touring Opera. The Vanishing Forest is the third and final installment in English Touring Opera’s climate change trilogy, preceded by The Wish Gatherer (Best Opera at YAMAwards 2024) and The Great Stink.
Written as a continuation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Vanishing Forest uses spells, puppetry and mystical flowers to educate and inspire children on the issue of deforestation, through a brand-new Shakespeare infused opera.
Recommended for ages 7 -11 years old.
