The Silver Bell

Fantasy opera by Camille Saint-Sans UK premire.

After the jaw-droppingly stupendous Dragon of Wantley NSOs same creative team presents a work which has everything: the popular vein of Neapolitan song - a splendid long overture - a fantastical plot rather like The Tales of Hoffmann and Faust (libretto by the same authors of those favourite works), and featuring a glamorous ballerina.
