Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Open-air Alice a treat from Welsh National Opera
DOUBLE TROUBLE: Sophie Yelland (Tweedle Dum) and Claire Hampton (Tweedle Dee)

THIS production by Will Todd of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is staged in a woodland setting at the National Trust’s Dyffryn Gardens.

The Welsh National Opera makes a triumphant return to the stage with a bravura performance of the children’s story which has Fflur Wyn as a beguiling Alice rushing into a pet shop with her family for shelter from the rain.

A white rabbit starts talking to her and the most surreal of adventures begins, spread across the beautiful gardens and the early evening bucolic setting includes the local birdlife joining in as a perfectly judged chorus.
