Inspired by Georges Mélies’s 1902 silent film, this fantastical opera for all
ages breaks down linguistic barriers so that Earth people can
communicate with Moon people in their own lyrical lunar language. The
cast of this whirling, family-friendly space opera includes Garsington
Opera’s Youth and Adult companies, children from two local primary
schools and world-class professionals, singing with the
incredible Philharmonia Orchestra. Travel to the idyllic Wormsley Estate,
where, in addition to stellar opera, you can wander through their Walled
Garden, Deer Park or sip afternoon tea overlooking the famous Wormsley
Cricket Pitch.
