The Silver Bell
UK Première
After the jaw-droppingly stupendous (Musical Opinion) Dragon of Wantley, New Sussex Opera's same team has created the UK première production of The Silver Bell (Le Timbre d’argent) by Camille Saint-Saëns, in a newly commissioned English translation.
A poor, tormented artist, consumed with passion and ambition, is given a silver bell that will provide all his heart desires. But in this story from the librettists behind Faust and The Tales of Hoffmann things could never be so simple. It is fantastical and compelling tale, illuminated by a sumptuous and sensual score: NSO presents an unmissable first chance to discover this masterpiece by Saint-Saëns, one of the greatest composers of his time.
