We are thrilled to welcome back Jeff Clarke and the brilliant Opera della Luna, supremos of comic opera, for a brand-new production of The Chocolate Soldier by the Viennese master of cabaret, Oscar Straus. His operetta, based on George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man, will be the first fully-staged professional production in the UK since 1940 is full of charm, wit and warmth - delivered with Opera della Luna’s signature sparkle and inventiveness.
