Opera della Luna’s brand new production of Gilbert and Sullivan's first success moves the story from its quaint Victorian setting to sleepy rural Britain in the 1970s.

John Wellington Wells, the celebrated dealer in 'magic and spells', spreads chaos and havoc in an unsuspecting country village when he places a powerful aphrodisiac in the village hall teapot. The resulting revelations are indeed 'marvelous illusion, a terrible surprise!'.

Opera della Luna have earned themselves a matchless reputation, now celebrating 15 years of acclaimed productions of Gilbert and Sullivan, Offenbach and Johann Strauss touring to theatres all over the UK. Their recent production of Die Fledermaus played to sell-out houses and gained rave reviews.

Fun, funky and full of frolics, don’t miss this fresh production of what is probably the most rarely performed of all Gilbert and Sullivan’s operettas.
