The Duchess of Padua

​Broadway World ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Packed full with stunning music... Lambert’s music is spot on"
Bachtrack "... an ode to the human voice… the melodrama was delicious and ...this is a slick and stylised production.”
The Reviews Hub ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "For passionate opera fans, having something so new should come as a welcome joy… it’s well worth seeking out."

Oscar Wilde's epic tragedy of revenge and passion turned into a compact opera. An earnest young man falls for the browbeaten wife of the cruel and coercive Duke - with dreadful consequences for them all. At times melodramatic, at times sentimental, our adaptation of Wilde's beautiful verse follows the twists and turns of this extraordinary Gothic drama in which the only murder is committed by a woman. With arias, choruses, a love-duet and a death scene, a quartet of fine singers brings to life the first performances of this ‘Italian-style’ opera for intimate spaces.

Running time 1'50" including an interval. 

Refreshments will be served.
