The Silver Bell

Fantasy opera by Camille Saint-Saëns – UK première.

After the “jaw-droppingly stupendous” Dragon of Wantley NSO’s 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.
