Once upon a time…
Five friends, lost on a road trip, decide to pass the time by entertaining each other with that most ancient of traditions - storytelling. From love to loss, with laughter and with tears, All Aboard Opera! presents a quartet of short operas in beautiful outdoor settings across Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.
Including Mozart’s ‘The Impresario’, Holst’s ‘Sāvitri’, Lehmann’s ‘The Happy Prince’ and Sullivan’s ‘The Zoo’, our traveling troupe will present a collection of operatic tales, all performed in a variety of stunning outdoor venues. From a manor estate to a vegetable garden, our tour will encompass them all; audiences are encouraged to bring picnics, friends and families. Relax, sit back, and let us tell you a story.
Backseat Stories will tour to:

Holmby House, Sibford, OX15 5RG - Wednesday 2 August
