OPERA at Chilmark will be presenting the first performance of a new opera – Beowulf by young composer Louis Mander.

Three years ago, the company gave the first performance of Louis’ opera Wild Edric. He was invited to write a chamber opera on Beowulf by the music commissioning organisation Cantata Dramatica and again asked Opera at Chilmark to give the first performance.

Performances are on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, 5pm. For tickets go to operaatchilmark.weebly.com or call 01722 714440.
