English Touring Opera returns to Cambridge Arts Theatre this May with their Spring 24 tour, featuring two new ETO productions.

Manon Lescaut is a devastating depiction of a woman wrestling with her desire for love on her own terms, and the rigid double standards imposed on her by society. Igor Stravinsky’s brilliantly inventive The Rake’s Progress charts young Tom Rakewell’s journey from an unexpected riches to ruin at the hands of his own naivety and a devilish new friend.

Sung in English with English Subtitles

Performances: 1-4 May
