The Silver Bell (Le Timbre d’argent) by Camille Saint-Saëns – UK première.
After the “jaw-droppingly stupendous” Dragon of Wantley NSO’s creative team presents a work which has everything: the popular vein of Neapolitan song - splendid long overture - fantastical plot rather like The Tales of Hoffmann and Faust (libretto by the same authors of those favourite works), and featuring a glamorous ballerina.
