First seen at Hampstead Theatre, David Hare's The Moderate Soprano was revisited for its opening at the Duke of York's Theatre 12 April, 2018, produced by Neal Street together with Playful Productions and Karl Sydow.
David Hare; “Few people know the extraordinary story of how an eccentric English schoolmaster bumped accidentally into three refugees from Hitler’s Germany, and formed one of the world’s great opera houses in the 1930s in the middle of the English countryside. But even fewer know that Glyndebourne’s true founder was John Christie’s adored wife, Audrey Mildmay, whom he called ‘the moderate soprano.”
