About this event
The Marriage of Figaro After the success of their previous performances Wild Arts return in 2026 with The Marriage of Figaro. 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. 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 7:15pm before Act II starts at 8.45pm. Curtain down will be at approximately 10pm. Please book early - last year's opera sold out.
