The ever-popular Cambridge Operatic Society comes to the Corn Exchange for its much anticipated production of Ruddigore, one of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic highlights.

Set in Cornwall, this operetta tells the story of the cursed Baronets of Ruddigore in an hilarious tale of mistaken identities, professional bridesmaids, ghosts, unrequited love and a witch's curse all wrapped up in Victorian Melodrama.

The cast of this hugely talented Society will have audiences on the edge of their seats by the end of the night.

Cambridge Corn Exchange, The
Ellen Kent & Amphitheatre Productions present Puccini's classic opera

This magnificent traditional production will be performed by handpicked international soloists alongside the full Chisinau National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus in an amphitheatre setting intriguingly converted into the attics and backstreets of Bohemian Paris. The poignancy of this tragic opera is set against the stunning backdrops inspired by Chagall, Renoir and the Impressionists and Act 2 will even boast snow!

This beautiful production will feature authentic costume of the period and of course the most romantic music Puccini ever wrote, including the famous aria Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
