La Perichole

Synopsis/Company

Set in Lima, Peru, this whimsical tale of love between two street singers and of intrigue in high places is brought to life by a cluster of comic characters who weave their way through a convoluted plot, interlaced with Offenbach's sparkling music. Performances start in the early evening and there is a long dinner interval when audiences can picnic or dine in the marquees, with catering provided by Jamie Oliver's Fabulous Feasts. Audience members may arrive from 16:00
