What is currently on at Buxton Opera House (V424)

Mignon

T01366208439
In a theatrical world of self-obsession, disguise and illusion, nothing and no-one is quite as it seems … A witty and surprising opera-comique by one of the most gifted French melodists, Mignon is based on Goethe's Wilhelm Meister. Ambiguous characters inhabit a mysterious setting full of theatrical artifice, as extremes of emotion and explosive jealousy lead to a dramatic showdown, revealing a staggering truth.

Author	Ambroise Thomas
