Love after the Storm
★★★★★ ‘It was entirely magical, that bewitching freedom and fantasy and strangeness of French music, played and performed with palpable love, humour and huge enjoyment.’ – Opera Now Magazine

From the team that brought you Castor et Pollux in 2022, this innovative show explores the beautiful cantata repertoire being performed in French salons at the beginning of the 18th century. Full of drama, tragedy, and humour, these miniature masterpieces are staged for the first time, interspersed with dance tunes from the opera house and folk tunes from the town square, taking you on a richly evocative journey to an era overflowing with musical delights.

This event is followed by a (free) Firework Display lasting 5 minutes at 9:45 pm. Safety regulations mean that gates to the car park will be closed, and it will not be possible to return to your car until 15 minutes after the display has finished. But, we do hope that you will stay on for Jazz in the Marquee.
