Do you remember what happened in the Forest of Athens?
Puck does. It’s been a while since ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and Athens is changing. The forest is being chopped down, and with each tree felled, more magic disappears from the land!
Join Puck, Cassie and Mylas in their quest to find Oberon and Titania, stop the felling and restore the wonder to the beautiful forest.
Written as a continuation of ‘A Midsummer Night\’s Dream’, The Vanishing Forest uses spells, puppetry and mystical flowers to educate children on the issue of deforestation and inspire them, through a brand-new Shakespeare infused opera.
Written by Jonathan Ainscough, composed by Michael Betteridge and directed by Victoria Briggs, The Vanishing Forest is the third and final installment in English Touring Opera’s climate change trilogy, preceded by ‘The Wish Gatherer’ (Best Opera at YAMAwards 2024) and ‘The Great Stink’.
All shows are captioned.
Recommend for ages 7-12, this is an English Touring Opera production. Tickets are from £10*
