Beneath the grandeur, elaborate sets and period costumes of traditional opera lie everyday dramas - characters embroiled in family feuds, relationship issues and the highs and lows of falling in and out of love.

This unique production by Rogue Opera weaves a modern story, with new original dialogue, through opera’s big tunes; the tear-jerkers, the crowd-pleasers and, of course, the drinking songs (all performed in their original languages). Encompassing friendship, betrayal, intrigue, love, laughter and mischief, it’s a great evening of entertainment.

Come and meet some of opera’s most famous characters, up close and personal, at The Bear of Rodborough.

We are delighted to welcome back Open Bar this summer with their fantastic production of  Romeo & Juliet – The Bard’s famous tale of two houses, both alike in dignity, drawing swords and battling it out on the streets of Verona, while young love develops in an unexpected place
