The Chocolate Soldier is light, witty and full of charm - a perfect introduction for anyone curious about opera. And it’s sung in English, so nothing gets between you and the story, or the jokes!

If you enjoy your nights out with a bit of wit, a touch of romance, and the occasional raised eyebrow at human nature, this one’s well worth your time...

Performed by the sensational Opera della Luna
