From the beloved novel that inspired the Academy Award-winning film comes an enchanting new musical.  Amid the golden sunlight and violet-covered hills of Tuscany, sheltered English girl Lucy Honeychurch meets freethinking George Emerson.  For the first time, she glimpses a world of longing and passion she had never imagined.  Back in her corseted Edwardian life, Lucy must decide whether to yield to convention or give up everything she has ever known.  Comic, romantic, satirical and real, A Room with a View blends a gorgeous score with this timeless story that gives a new voice to these unforgettable characters.

Opera North pays homage to its roots and its history of presenting operetta, Gilbert & Sullivan, and American musical theater with the spectacular Rogers and Hammerstein hit, The King and I.

Anna Leonowens, an English schoolteacher sent to Siam to teach the many children in the royal palace, clashes with their father the King, who is striving to bring his country into the modern age. The two find themselves bound together not just by conflict but also by a love that neither is able to express.

Directed by Catherine Doherty of Northern Stage, this production features classically-trained singers, the full Opera North orchestra conducted by Louis Burkot, a full complement of Upper Valley children and community members, and dancers from the Lebanon City Center Ballet.
