Opera on the Lawn at Doddington Hall Theatre & Performing Arts


Experience opera on the Croquet Lawn at Doddington Hall. Wild Arts presents La Folle Journée, an evening of passion, deception and romance.


Step into a whirlwind of passion, deception and romance in La Folle Journée, an evening of operatic brilliance from Wild Arts.

The Count and Countess are having marriage trouble. The Count has his eye on the Countess’s maid, Susanna, who is about to get married to his manservant, Figaro. Will the Count get what he wants, or will the Countess expose his infidelity before it’s too late?

Performed by four fabulous singers, a world-class string quintet and directed by James Hurley, follow the characters as they travel through 75 minutes of music, from Handel to Mozart, Rossini to Bernstein and more.

Prepare for an unforgettable evening where emotions soar, laughter and heartbreak collide and some of the most beautiful music ever composed takes centre stage.

A total joy – sassily delivered and outstandingly well sung.
★★★★★ Michael White on Wild Arts’ The Elixir of Love, 2023

With an exceptional company, wonderful music played with verve by orchestra and singers, Wild Arts are, well… magical!
★★★★★ Mark Aspen on Wild Arts’ The Magic Flute, 2024
