What’s on

Diva Opera – Don Pasquale

Diva Opera, Britain’s foremost chamber opera company, is set to return to the magnificent Marble Hall to perform Gaetano Donizetti’s Don Pasquale.

Attention all men: Marriage can seriously damage your health! Well, it certainly seems so to elderly bachelor Don Pasquale as he becomes the victim of a clever plot to disillusion him of the notion of conjugal bliss, leaving the way open for his long-suffering nephew to marry the girl of his dreams. Donizetti’s masterpiece is one of the most popular comedies in the entire operatic repertoire.

This event is in aid of Norfolk Churches Trust.

This event is optional Black Tie, but the dress code is smart.

Gates open from 5.30pm for picnics. Please bring your picnics, tables and chairs with you.

Doors open at 6pm, when you will be met and advised where your party is seated.

The performance commences at 7pm, with an interval of one hour for continued picnics on the west terrace. Expected finish time of 10pm.

In the event of inclement weather, alternative arrangements for picnics will be made.

To register your interest please contact Shirley Browell at s.browell@holkham.co.uk or telephone 01328 713104.
