With a cast led by mezzo-soprano Katie Bray and soprano Julieth Lozano, and directed by James Hurley with circus and movement direction by Rebecca Solomon, this is Baroque opera like you've never seen it before. Audiences will move between indoor and outdoor spaces, with scenes popping up across the estate in true immersive-theatre style.
