The Muffat Collective and the Choir of St Paul's College, the University of Sydney are thrilled to be joining forces for The Dragon of Wantley.

The Dragon of Wantley received an impressive 69 performance run in 1737; more than any opera by the celebrated Mr. Handel and holding the London stages in thrall for 45 years. Is this an opera about a dragon and an inebriated knight? Or, is it mocking the excesses of rival Italian operas, in production across the street? Or, is it satirizing the first Prime Minister of England? In fact, this rambunctious satire contains all three of these operas, and the listener can decide which interpretation to enjoy.

Joined by some of the finest early music singers in Australia and the full force of The Muffat Orchestra, don’t miss this special opportunity to enjoy the brilliant music and hilarious plot of The Dragon of Wantley.
