Gualtiero – Il Pirata himself – was Imogene’s first love, but he has been a pirate on the high seas since a feud with Ernesto. Imogene was forced to marry Ernesto and together they have a son. The opera opens with a storm and Gualtiero is shipwrecked on the rocks of Ernesto’s island… the drama begins! As Gualtiero and Ernesto fight over Imogene, who will emerge victorious? You’ll have to come along and find out!
We’ve started rehearsals already, all my cast mates and the creative team are both talented and lovely (ideal!), already I can tell this is going to be a special show.
Performances are on 13th, 15th & 16th February at 5:30pm.

Great Orchestra Experiment 2025
Bookings for the Great Orchestra Experiment 2025 are now open! Join us on an epic musical journey led by the fantastic Robin Hood Youth Orchestra on the 26th March 2025 at the Albert Hall, Nottingham.
Kieran will sing the Lead Judge in the court scene from Aida, leading a chorus of primary school students on a wonderful journey through what will be, for many of them, their first operatic experience.
GOE is an exciting interactive concert for pupils learning an instrument as part of our Whole Class Ensemble (WCE) Programme (usually year 4). This year the event will take place on 26th March 2025 in three separate sessions. If your school has not received an invitation to book yet, please email rebecca.hart@nottinghammusichub.org.uk

We are so proud of the Robin Hood Youth Orchestra (RHYO) for leading such an inspirational performance for primary school pupils from across Nottingham City. We hope to see many of the primary pupils in RHYO in a few years time!
