Sweeney Todd - the Victorian Melodrama
Company:
Opera della Luna
Running time:
2h 15min approx
The story of Sweeney Todd first appeared on the stage in London in 1847 at Britannia Theatre, Hoxton, in a melodrama, The String of Pearls, based on a popular 'penny dreadful' serialised story.
Now it returns to London’s East End in a new production at historic Wilton’s Music Hall.
Opera della Luna restores the musical element of story-telling with an orchestra of 10 musicians, and music penned by British opera composers of the Victorian age.
Come and be shocked, terrified, and amazed; and most important of all: hiss the villain—the notorious Fiend of Fleet Street!
