What's on
Opera in the Garden – 28 June - Swan
Join us for a truly special summer evening as Rogue Opera brings a spectacular showcase of opera’s most loved music to our garden stage.
Featuring iconic moments and unforgettable characters from classics including La Traviata, La Bohème, Carmen, The Barber of Seville, Tosca and Don Giovanni, this is a vibrant and accessible celebration of the very best of opera. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or completely new to the genre, this performance promises something for everyone.
You may be surprised just how familiar it all sounds—many of these powerful, emotive pieces have found their way into beloved films like The Shawshank Redemption, Pretty Woman, Mission: Impossible and True Romance, as well as across sport and iconic advertising.
Make the most of the evening by adding food to your ticket. Share a generous board with friends or enjoy a classic fish and chips as you soak up the atmosphere—because world-class music deserves equally memorable dining.
Sit back with a drink in hand, let the music carry you away, and enjoy an unforgettable night of open-air opera under the summer sky.
