THE QUEEN OF SPADES, Tchaikovsky's powerful opera based on a story by Pushkin. Performed by the Garsington Opera Company in their purpose-built auditorium on the Wormsley Estate. Dining options available or picnic in style in furnished tents during the interval. Hurry -limited availability.
Tchaikovsky’s intensely dramatic opera is a tragedy about the remorseless nature of fate, brought to life with music on a grand scale. This production sees the return of Jack Furness, Tom Piper and Douglas Boyd after their triumphant Rusalka in 2022 which later opened the Edinburgh International Festival. The production revels in the opulence of the St Petersburg we saw at the end of Tom Piper’s 2016 Eugene Onegin as this passionate thriller unfolds.
