The Elixir of Love

This summer, the grandeur of opera meets the historic elegance of Wolterton, as we proudly present a series of stunning performances by Wild Arts. Renowned for their exceptional productions that bring opera to life in breathtaking settings, Wild Arts will transport audiences with their world-class singers, stirring orchestration, and captivating storytelling, all set within the estate’s magnificent grounds. Whether you are a devoted opera enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, these performances promise to be a highlight of the season, blending artistic excellence with the beauty of nature. 

Expect a magical repertoire featuring beloved classics and thrilling new interpretations, performed in an intimate and atmospheric open-air setting. With the serene lake, ancient trees, and the stately Wolterton Hall itself framing each performance, the synergy of music and landscape creates an experience unlike any other. Guests can indulge in pre-show picnics on the estate’s sweeping lawns, sip fine wines under the evening sky, and immerse themselves in the drama, romance, and passion that only opera can provide. 

For those looking to extend the enchantment, Wolterton offers the rare opportunity to stay overnight in one of its magnificent main hall bedrooms. Steeped in history and elegantly restored, these luxurious accommodations allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the grandeur of the estate.  

Wake up to sweeping views of the parkland, enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the opulent surroundings, and take in the tranquillity of this historic home. It’s the perfect way to turn an evening of opera into an unforgettable getaway. 

This special event marks the first of our summer dates being released as part of Wolterton’s new Arts and Culture programme, with more exciting performances and experiences to be announced soon.
