ETO: Agrippina (Pre-Show Talk)

PRE-SHOW TALK

English Touring Opera return to Malvern with a celebration of the work of the greatest composer of opera in the UK, George Friderich Handel.

Agrippina is a devilish comedy that brings the machinations of one of ancient Rome’s most notorious characters to life. Presented in a revival of ETO’s 2013 production, with stunning set and costume designs by Samal Blak, performed in a rapier-sharp English translation.

★★★★★ “James Conway’s inspired production, in which the sightgags come thick and fast…is supported by an ingenious rotating set plus marvellous costumes by designer Samal Blak, and by Julie Osman’s perfectly judged choreography.” Independent

★★★★ “The razor-sharp precision of this meticulously rehearsed staging ensures that nearly three hours whizz by in a flash.” Evening Standard

Sung in English with English surtitles

Pre-Show Talks each evening at 6.30pm.  Numbers limited, please book in advance.
