Eugene Onegin 

After the success of their 2023 and 2024 visits, Wild Arts return in 2025 with two operas - Tchaikovsky's romantic love story Eugene Onegin, directed by former Globe Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole, and Donizetti's dreamy, sun-kissed comedy The Elixir of Love, set in an Italian seaside village in the 1950ies and performed in a mischievous new translation. 

The performances will take place in the beautiful Great Hall in the main house, with room for only 175 audience members.

The operas will be fully staged, in costume and sung in English by a cast of exceptional singers, with a chamber orchestra of top musicians, conducted by Wild Arts' Artistic Director Orlando Jopling.

Wednesday 2 July 

6pm Eugene Onegin

You are welcome to arrive from 5pm to set up your picnic in the gardens, and bring food, drink, rugs, chairs, tables, friends, and candelabras. The performance will start at 6pm, with a 90-minute picnic interval at approximately 7pm before Act II starts at 8.30pm. Curtain down will be at approximately 9.30pm. 

Directed by Dominic Dromgoole and conducted by Orlando Jopling.
