Samuel Wyer’s set design is utterly bewitching, illuminated by a giant moon that rises above the tall wispy pine trees with a central wooden rostrum and a tread behind, which is brought to life by Joshua Pharo’s atmospheric and colourful lighting. A process with storytelling at its heart, creating accessible children’s opera through devised physical theatre. This enchanting family-friendly musical theatre production is a collaboration between the Royal Opera House and Little Bulb in association with Farnham Maltings, which has been two years in development. One that combined fairy tales, storytelling, music, theatre and opera, and what a fabulous combination! This was not Sonny’s first theatrical experience, but it was a really exciting introduction to opera. So, I was delighted to take my young companion (and co-critic) to see Wolf Witch Giant Fairy, the Royal Opera’s first fully staged work in the beautiful Linbury Theatre since its closure in March 2020. I clearly remember the magical and defining theatrical moments in my childhood that shaped my love and passion for the theatre.
