Event details: Mustafa, Bey of Algiers, bored with his wife Elvira, sends Haly, the captain of the guard, to find him a glamorous Italian wife. Lindoro, an Italian being held at Mustafa's court, has been separated from his fiancée Isabella; but she is shipwrecked on the shores of Algiers while looking for him. Haly captures Isabella and her companions and takes them back to the Bey's court. The stage is set for intrigue, deception and the eventual triumph of true love.


London Opera Productions has worked for a number of years in conjunction with London Opera Players who, before they closed, gave several highly successful Barn Theatre performances, their last being The Marriage of Figaro in 2006. We are very glad to welcome back many of the same singers, now performing with equal brilliance for the sister company. They will be accompanied, as usual, by a hard-working quintet.

During a long interval people can enjoy their picnics in the lovely surroundings adjacent to the Barn. Bring your own picnics, rugs and/or picnic chairs and a large umbrella!

Black tie preferred for the Saturday performance.
