Rose Opera returns to Normansfield Theatre this spring with Puccini's Manon Lescaut — a passionate tale of love, obsession and heartbreak, performed with full orchestra and chorus.

Running for just five performances between 30 May and 7 June, the production combines large-scale theatrical design, an international cast and some of Puccini's most glorious music.

This new staging features a distinctive concept by Stage Director Callie Nestleroth, evocative designs by Fred Broom, and musical direction from Lewis Gaston conducting Rose Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

Rose Opera has built a reputation for ambitious and imaginative productions at Normansfield Theatre, and Manon Lescaut promises to be one of its most exciting projects yet.

Performances take place on 30 & 31 May and 6 & 7 June at Normansfield Theatre, Teddington. Tickets and information: www.roseopera.co.uk
