Benjamin Britten
12th, 13th, 15th, 16th June
A lovers tiff between fairy-king Oberon and his queen Tytania leads to a night of mistaken identities, confused lovers and alarming transformations.
Based on Shakespeare’s comedy, with a magical score by Benjamin Britten, this new production for NHO will be directed by Anna Morrissey (Noye’s Fludde 2017) and designed by Simon Kenny (Le Nozze di Figaro 2018).
A cast of young artists will shine as the NHO theatre is transformed for the opening of our 2019 festival. Our fantastic NHO Children’s Chorus will make a welcome return as the Chorus of Fairies.
Featuring Britten Sinfonia, under the baton of conductor Nicholas Chalmers.
“Nevill Holt Opera scores again for its place in the top league – 5 stars”
“An indisputable triumph, this can truly be called a home for music”
