English Touring Opera bring ‘The Wellies’ to ROH Dot’s Day. Milly is bored! She’s stuck at home; it’s raining outside, and she’s played with all of her toys. She finds an amazing pair of shiny talking wellies and discovers their secret power to splash you to any time and place you desire.

A brand new production of La traviata opens the Festival and will be directed by Maxine Braham and designed by Jamie Vartan, who makes his Festival debut, with lighting design by Johanna Town. The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is conducted by renowned exponent of Verdi, Richard Farnes.
