An interactive and educational show for all the family - a perfect introduction to the wonderful world of opera and classical music. The relaxed vibe will allow you to fully lose yourself in the music, story and drama as WNO charter the waves and bring Tom and his crew back to dry land.
Fearless captain, Tom Redmond may be stranded on a desert island but he’s in great company with his trusty crew of the WNO Orchestra and singers. Together, they will introduce you to the orchestra’s many instruments with melodies that take you on a journey accompanying talented singers through story, song, and swashbuckling music from stage and screen.
And the adventure doesn’t stop there! Before you board HMS WNO, join others in the foyer to experience the backstage magic of opera during our free pre-show foyer activities, available from 1pm. Explore costumes, make your own props and test your skills on lighting and sound stations. If that’s not enough, there’s even a treasure hunt - but make sure you find it before those pesky pirates!
