Betrothal in a Monastery by Prokofiev

Based on Sheridan’s libretto for The Duenna, this wacky but very human comedy celebrates all that is young love.

Two boys, two girls, a greedy fish merchant and a bevy of monks who are more likely to be found drinking than praying add up to a sparkling evening’s entertainment.

Prokofiev’s gift for sparkling wit and satire is never far away and his score is an explosion of colour and lyricism with a host of unforgettable melodies. Sung in English with English supertitles
