OHP are proud to present this magical opera for families using the atmospheric Yucca lawn of Holland Park as a natural scenic backdrop. This may be considered the rural 'fringe' of the main season!

With nine performances featuring Opera Holland Park singers and members of the City of London Sinfonia, this will be a wonderful way to introduce children of all ages to opera, using a source material that many of them will know and love. With glorious melodies framing the story of the wily Mr Fox and his bid to outwit his farmer neighbours this is an enchanting hour of entertainment for audiences of all ages.
