Opera Scenes – On A Ghostly Theme

Step into a world of mystery, magic, and the supernatural in this special showcase of opera scenes inspired by ghostly tales and eery encounters.

Featuring extracts from:

• Humperdinck – Hänsel und Gretel
• Menotti – The Medium
• Holst – Sāvitri

These scenes explore haunting folklore, haunted atmospheres, and the uncanny forces that drive some of opera’s most compelling stories.
