Baseless Fabric return to Grimeborn following 2019's sell-out Die Fledermaus and their recent Cosi Fan Tutte, which was an Off West End Award Finalist for Best Opera Production. With a re-imagined score for violin, accordion and bassoon by acclaimed young composer Leo Geyer of Bizet's famous tunes and a colloquial contemporary English libretto by director and librettist Joanna Turner, this daring new production places Bizet's characters directly on today's high street.
