OPERA Brava returns to Rodmarton Manor for a weekend of opera as you have never seen it before.

A leading professional outdoor touring opera company, Opera Brava returns to the Cotswolds for the 12th successive year with performances of La Traviata on July 5 and The Marriage of Figaro on July 6.

Owners John and Sarah Biddulph are kindly opening their idyllic private grounds for the opera and picnics under the stars.

John said: “This year will be as special as ever; Sarah and I always look forward to the Opera Brava team visiting. What a magical weekend."

Formed 30 years ago by two former English National Opera singers, Opera Brava aims to bring opera to a wider audience, bring together top artists from leading opera houses to country house gardens and estates up and down the country.

Gates open at 6.30pm on both evenings for picnics.
