Handel Xerxes

Museum of the Order of St John

Join us at the Priory Church of the Order of St John for Byre Opera’s contemporary production of Handel’s classic tragicomedy Xerxes, sung in Nicholas Hytner’s English translation.

It will reunite the director-and-designer team of Tania Holland Williams and Gregor Donnelly who collaborated so successfully on The Turn of the Screw for Byre Opera two years ago, and will feature a period-instrument ensemble, The Fitzwilliam Band, led by Lucy Russell and conducted by Michael Downes.

For the first time, Byre Opera will be touring to London with two semi-staged performances of Xerxes in the Priory Church of the Order of St John.

Tickets available: www.byretheatre.com.
