1. Ben & Imo- Orange Tree Theatre
About: Benjamin Britten is under pressure and on a deadline.
He has just nine months to write a wildly ambitious new opera to celebrate the Coronation of Elizabeth II – and he isn't entirely sure he wants to.
And then he meets Imogen Holst: daughter of Gustav, multi-talented musician, and all-round force of nature.
As storms lash the Aldeburgh beaches, Ben and Imo race against the clock to compose an opera fit for a monarch – and test the very edges of their passionate friendship.
When: 19 April - 17 May 2025.
Where: 1 Clarence St, Richmond TW9 2SA
