1970s Cambridge. A bunch of buttoned up students are about to get a tutorial in fidelity ...

Wild Arts' fast-paced, entertaining version of Mozart's Così fan tutte is getting great feedback from their tour.

A wonderful evening last night. The whole event was a pure joy. It was a privilege to have been there. We travelled home on a cloud.

At just 1 hour 40 minutes of music, the storytelling is nimble, and the recits trimmed. A lighthearted, romantic production for our times, suitable for all ages. Sung in English in a new version of the brilliant Jeremy Sams translation.

Expect flowery shirts, serious flares, rock stars, and more ...

We thought last night was an absolute delight from beginning to end…. As for the music — we left feeling utterly elated. What a joy to be listening to marvellous singing in such an atmosphere. The orchestra was brilliant.

We look forward to welcoming you to Layer Marney Tower for the inaugural Summer Opera Festival.
