It was a real treat to be back at OHP. Our last visit was in 2019! The evening did not disappoint. We gathered at Dutch Garden for picnic, there were plenty of liquids being consumed, white, red, prosecco, plus loads of food to share. Thanks all for participating.

The opera venue has also been improved a great deal with more seating places around the marquee for both patrons and general public. Toilet facilities have been upgraded. There are even free blankets provided to keep one warm in a chilly night.

The performance itself was also brilliant with some good singing and acting, as well as clever staging. Good views from all seats making this a most enjoyable evening. Not to mention some cheap tickets being made available to young, old and first timers. The whole setup makes operas more accessible to all. It sets a good example for other opera houses to follow on accessibility. n=10 including several first timers.
