Written for children aged 4–8
Set in the magic forest of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, we follow the entwined story of Oberon, Titania and Bottom as they struggle through the strangest of moonlit nights.
Written for children aged 4–8 the piece is a perfect introduction to some key instruments of the orchestra, to opera and to Shakespeare. New music by Kate Pearson and design by Lou Wilson will immerse the children in the sensual and comic world of Dream, with a little help from a puppet Puck.
Very accessible and fully interactive fun!

This Spring, English Touring Opera present three of the wittiest works of the repertoire, taken from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.
These very different operas – all of them describing the events of one day – find comedy in stifling Sevillian manor houses, in enchanted woods, and in dusty bachelors’ quarters.
