Saturday 9 July – 7:30pm CARMEN

Carmen lays claim to the title of ‘The Most Popular Opera’.

The music, full of extravagant melody and rich in operatic hits has captivated audiences over the decades. This production, vibrant with energy and passion, takes hold of the dramatic story of Carmen and captivates you - the audience - to witness an unforgettable evening.

The operas are performed directly in front of the spectacular moated Helmingham Hall, which is flood lit and creates a dramatic back drop and fantastic acoustics.

People attending the opera are invited to bring a picnic and a chair or rug to sit on, and to visit the Grade I listed gardens which will be open from 6pm on the evening.
