Rip Van Winkle is an English-language operetta by Robert Planquette based on two stories by Washington Irving – Rip van Winkle and the famous Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The piece premiered at the Comedy Theatre in London in 1882, running for around 300 performances – but although popular at the time, it has not been seen in its English version since the nineteenth century.
With a cast of exceptional singers, Gothic Opera will approach this charming piece with fresh eyes, reinvigorating it with a new chamber arrangement and newly-written dialogue.
After their success with their 2021 La Nonne Sanglante (The Bloody Nun), which won Best Opera Production at the Off-West End Awards 2022, Gothic Opera are returning to the atmospheric Hoxton Hall this Halloween. Don’t miss it!
