Oct 22 2008 Surrey Herald

An exotic fairytale which has never failed to intrigue music lovers is one of the treats being brought to the New Victoria Theatre, in Woking, from Tuesday, November 4 to Saturday, November 8.

The internationally-famous Glyndebourne on Tour is presenting The Magic Flute, a vibrant, colourful and enthralling production of Mozart's final masterpiece.

The remarkable fairytale of the quest for love and enlightenment, with comic elements, opens a varied repertoire from the company when it is staged with lavish costumes on Tuesday, November 4 and Thursday, November 6.

Bizet's passionate opera Carmen makes a welcome return to the tour on Wednesday, November 5 and Saturday, November 8 with the heart-rending story of corruption, jealousy and obsession staged with exhilarating effect by David McVicar.

For one performance only, Glyndebourne is performing Humperdinck's richly orchestrated Hansel and Gretel on Friday, November 7 in a work which combines romanticism, memorable lyrics and exuberant playfulness.

All three operas are sung in their original language with English subtitles projected above the stage at each performance.

Tickets, from £14, are available from the box office on 0870 060 6645.
