Tete a Tete & Royal College of Music

Britten Theatre

“Six new operas in one is an ambitious thing, and brilliantly delivered by the Royal College of Music and the Cornwall-based opera production team from Tête à Tête”

***** Colin Clarke, Opera Now

“staging was superb. A kind of candy-floss coloured backdrop for the arcade itself, and a rather hellish looking Newgate Prison for the “rectum examination” – this was the very definition of state buggery. Costumes were superb”

Marc Bridle, Opera Today
