The company brings together national and international artists to produce world-class performances.

Both productions will be sung in English.

Both performances start at 7.30pm but doors will open at 5.30pm so there will be ample time to soak up the historic surroundings.

Shannon Denson, Visitor Services Manager at Ford & Etal Estates, said: “It is so long since any of us have been able to go out and enjoy an evening of live entertainment. We felt we should organise something really memorable and an open-air opera seemed to be the perfect event.”
