Opera on the Lawn at Doddington Hall

Enjoy an unforgettable open-air opera experience on the Croquet Lawn at Doddington Hall.

Wild Arts presents an evening of operatic and musical hits, semi-staged by director James Hurley, and woven into a new narrative full of dramatic intrigue, jealousy, comedy, idealism, and true love.

Performed by four fabulous singers and a world-class string quintet, follow the characters as they travel through 75 minutes of music – from arias and scenes by Handel, Mozart, Rossini, and Britten, to the songs of Richard Rodgers and Stephen Sondheim.

Presented in a mixture of English and the original languages, “Love, Actually” is a sparkling and mischievous summer treat.

A total joy – sassily delivered and outstandingly well sung.
