One enchanted evening
Telegraph priority booking 31 Jan – 14 Feb
Welcome, Telegraph readers
You have priority booking (31 Jan-14 Feb) before the public for this secret Surrey idyll.
Summer 2025 isn’t far away. Nor is this opera house: it’s close to London and there are lots of trains.
Use the promo code “Pinkerton” at checkout or book through the calendar.
The 2025 season brings a blockbuster (Madama Butterfly), a Verdi masterpiece (Simon Boccanegra) with much-celebrated baritone Sir Simon Keenlyside, a Tchaikovsky epic (Mazeppa) and Taj Mahal by maestro sitarist Nishat Khan. Nishat narrates and improvises on the sitar around the orchestral textures. A Gala of British Ballet presents thrills from The Royal Ballet and other companies.

- Arrive from two hours before for champagne and canapes in the Rose Garden. Or wander the historic walled gardens where a convivial atmosphere reigns.
- Nestled in the woods, a five-tier opera house modelled on La Scala, Milan, awaits. Take your seat to enjoy luxury casts in epic opera.
- The long interval (100 mins) is all-important. A three-course meal is served within the historic house: in the Marquess’ Library, Red Drawing Room, or magnificent Stone Hall.
- Or picnic … reserve a hamper or bring your own. Claim a spot in the bucolic gardens or book a furnished Indian Pavilion.
- Return for the dramatic conclusion.
