In the mid 1850s a true story of lies, deceit and death had the British public in its thrall; all eyes were on the most likely culprit, [Madeleine Hamilton Smith.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_Smith) The burning question on everyone's lips was – did she poison her clandestine lover, Emile L'Angelier, and was a seed sown by a night at the opera? It seems extraordinary that this oh-so-Victorian melodrama had previously not been retold on the operatic stage.
With much of Jonathan Butcher’s libretto drawn from Madeleine’s and Emile’s poems and love letters, and with thrilling atmospheric music by composer David Hackbridge Johnson , Surrey Opera has brought this gripping tragedy to life.

Following the triumphant World Première on 30th September 2021, Surrey Opera continues to celebrate its fifty glorious years with two concert performances of the revised score of this exciting new work.
