Il segreto di Susanna.

What is Susanna hiding? Her husband’s suspicions are driving him wild. Will it destroy their marriage?  All is revealed in this hilarious 50 minutes of sparkling comic-opera at its tuneful best by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari.  “Il Segreto”, with its contemporary plot and catchy tunes, is a great example of why he was one of the most performed opera composers of the 1900’s.

There will be lots of glitter, glue and sticky stuff as we welcome younger children to our activity, painting and craft session. Older children and adults (if they’re brave enough!) can participate in indoor and outdoor treasure trails or browse our latest exhibitions 

Admission is free but donations warmly welcomed.

This Charity is well loved in the area, and supports our local hospital, which is very important to us all.
