Garsington Opera’s Adult Company present a semi-staged performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s first major hit, Trial by Jury featuring a stellar line-up of professional soloists. This is a one-act comedic opera full of emotion, humour and chaos which follows the court case of Angelina and Edwin after she claims he has broken his word to marry her. How will the trial unfold? A truly unbelievable series of events, you’ll have to see it to believe it!
The Garsington Opera Adult Company is made up of participants from the Garsington’s local community who come together to rehearse and perform at Garsington Studios. Each year they present at least one production featuring professional soloists, players and creative team, and Trial by Jury will be their Barnes Music Festival debut.
