Experience world-class opera in a spectacular English country house setting, a little over an hour from London. The Grange Festival (5 June - 12 July 2020) is one of the highlights of the British summer season, set against a backdrop of stunning neoclassical buildings, which come alive with a colourful mix of opera and dance lovers when the festival opens. It's no secret that we can't fund the festival on ticket sales alone. Our Festival Friends ensure the success of each festival and are essential to keeping world-class opera at The Grange. Please get in touch to discuss becoming a Friend or sponsor. In addition to the festival, we run a year-round programme of workshops and events to nurture up-and-coming talent in opera and the arts, including our International Singing Competition and community opera workshop. 2020 Programme La Cenerentola - 5, 12, 14, 19, 27 June & 2 July The handsome prince rescues the wronged orphan daughter.
