English Touring Opera's The Starry Welkin
Thursday 18th March, 1pm
The Starry Welkin is set in the magic forest of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and follows the entwined story of Oberon, Titania and Bottom as they struggle through the strangest of moonlit nights. Written for children aged 4-7 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. The piece lasts one hour and is both very accessible and fully interactive.
Tickets: Children £2 each, accompanying adults free
Maximum capacity: 250
School group bookings only
