Lessons in love are at the heart of Welsh National Opera’s Spring Season as it arrives at Oxford New Theatre.

In Così fan tutte, four sixth formers discover that falling in love can be incredible and complicated when their teacher involves them in a secret experiment played out to some of Mozart’s most ravishing music.

In the search for beauty and meaning, a renowned author travels to Venice on a whim where he projects his loneliness and desire onto a youthful aristocrat. Inspired by Thomas Mann’s

Welsh National Opera

novella, Death in Venice, Britten’s magnificently atmospheric opera, comes to life in this new production.
