Chiltern Open Air Museum are pleased to be welcoming back Wild Arts for a wonderful evening of opera for the third year running, following their sold-out performance last year.

‘Let me tell you that Wild Arts’ opera evenings are of a breathtakingly high, ROH-level musical standard – a gorgeous quintet of musicians and a most cunning choice of excerpts, mischievously well acted. I’d follow them anywhere.’ Libby Purves

Our Opera Evening is a love story built around your favourite opera classics, arranged into 75 minutes of musical heaven. All sung by the stars of tomorrow and played by a stunning string quintet. Follow four characters’ journeys through a kaleidoscope of arias, duets, and ensembles by Mozart, Rossini, Puccini, Verdi, Rodgers & Hammerstein and many many more.

Gates will open at 5.30pm. The performance run from around 6.30pm to around 7.45pm, and the final call for departures will be at around 8.30pm

You are welcome to arrive from 5.30pm to set up your picnics and enjoy the grounds.

The performance will be on the village green in the beautiful open air. You are welcome to bring everything you need to make yourself comfortable while enjoying the performance – rugs, cushions. folding chairs, and hampers. There are a limited number of picnic tables, chairs and benches already there. We are expecting a beautiful summer’s evening but do check the weather and come prepared for an English summer.
