Dear Woodhouse Visitors

Welcome to Woodhouse in 2012, we will offer you a variety of events, always carefully chosen to the highest artistic standards. We will feature top young artists, true to the ethos and mission of Woodhouse in recitals, chamber music, music theatre and opera, in entrancing surroundings.

Sir Tom Allen who has given masterclasses here over the years and is always a great help in preparation for the operas called Woodhouse "Unique" and critic Michael White blogged about it in the Daily Telegraph recently; his advice was "Google it and be surprised; it's special".

We will present Le Nozze di Figaro fully staged with orchestra September 8th and 9th; with an open dress rehearsal 6th September, all beginning at 4:00 p.m.

To precede this event, Woodhosue will stage a opera gala with well loved arias and duets by the cast of Figaro this is a fundraising event in June (date TBA) and will be presented in a stylish and festive fashion, with champagne reception and the chance to meet the artists.

We were very encouraged by the good reviews with four star received for Don Giovanni in Summer 2011, and also Cosi Fan Tutte 2010. Nozze will be the last Mozart opera in the unique Da Ponte - Mozart trilogy; did we keep the best one for the end?

Our La Boheme played to a sell out Woodhoouse Hall in February so we we are planning to stage another Puccini work later in the autumn

Come to as many events you can, pass on the word and, most importantly, have a memorable and enjoyable time here at Woodhouse. Late May and early June is a delicious time to visit the gardens.

We are a non-profit organisation without any external funding and we appreciate your part in keeping Woodhouse alive.

Thank you
