After a stunningly successful debut in 2022, GAP Festival Opera returns to Streatley Farmhouse for three nights of glorious music in an enchanting setting.

Goring soprano Stephanie Bodsworth has assembled a cast of professional singers and musicians from some of the country’s finest opera houses to produce an exclusive performance of Mozart’s best-loved opera, the Marriage of Figaro.

Sung here in a new translation by director Martin Lamb, the opera is a tale of double-crossing, intrigue and mistaken identity as hero Figaro battles to thwart his philandering employer’s attempts to steal his beloved Susanna from him on their wedding day. The singers will be accompanied by a five piece ensemble conducted by music director Benjamin Cox.

The opera will be staged in a magnificent 18th century barn transformed into a beautiful theatre for the occasion with a set designed by another Goring resident, international opera designer Ilka Weiss.
