Grange Park Opera’s summer season

27th June 2019

Grange Park Opera's third summer season at West Horsley Place has opened with four or five star reviews for all three operas.  "The acoustics of this endearingly quirky opera house are excellent" ★★★★★ Evening Standard

Follow Hansel & Gretel into the woods in Humperdinck’s fairy-tale, set to sublime orchestral textures.

The Daily Telegraph ★★★★★

"A magnificent account of the score, sparkling with playful humour in the dialogues and exultantly romantic in the interludes....boisterous anarchic children...a cannibalistic Ginergbread witch...a richly intelligent and original production evokes the world of Sickert's paintings."

Don Carlo returns to our Theatre in the Woods to tear and tug at your heartstrings.

"This production is one of the most satisfying accounts of Verdi's grand opera around, and here with finely balanced cast." Robert Hugill ★★★★½ 

Gershwin’s gospel-drenched opera Porgy & Bess follows Porgy as he tries to saves Bess from her twin demons.

"South African bass-baritone Musa Ngqungwana as Porgy is the emotional heart of the performance . . . his rich bass-baritone plumbs depths of feeling in a moving portrayal. Francesca Chiejina launches the evening with a radiant Summertime” Financial Times ★★★★

Joyce DiDonato casts her magic over the theatre for one night only on 10 July. The season ends with an evening of jazz with Simon Keenlyside on 13 July.
