Partenope

Finding The One isn’t easy. Especially when you’re tangled up in a tricky love quadrangle. Join our social butterfly Partenope and her three potential suitors – Arsace, Armindo and Eurimene – in this timeless tale where boys meet girl, girl falls for boy, and another ‘boy’ is really a girl looking for revenge on a boy… keeping up? Find out if love is on the cards and if honesty wins, in this complex game of romance, where not everything (or everyone) is as it seems. Set in a 1920’s Paris salon, Christopher Alden’s production is inspired by the surrealist artists of the time including Salvador Dali and Man Ray, with the character of Emilio being based on Man Ray himself. With non-stop parties, bottomless cocktails, endless card games and some questionable disguises, the scene is set for romance, complemented by Handel’s captivating score which brings each character’s emotions to life beautifully. Don’t miss this fun, classy and charming battle for Partenope’s heart.
