Programme Note
Richmond Opera presents Handel’s Susanna
A tale of love, courage, and triumph over adversity
Richmond Opera is delighted to announce performances of George Frideric Handel’s Susanna at St Mary’s University Theatre in Twickenham, adjacent to the University Chapel. This production marks Richmond Opera’s debut at the venue.
Performances take place on Friday 17 April 2026 at 7.30pm, Saturday 18 April at 7.30pm, and Sunday 19 April at 2.30pm.
Composed in 1748, Susanna is one of Handel’s most dramatic English oratorios, telling the compelling story of a virtuous woman falsely accused, and her ultimate vindication. Combining moments of lyrical intimacy with powerful choruses, the work offers a moving exploration of integrity, resilience, and justice.
The production is directed by Patricia Gómez, with musical direction by Lindsay Bramley, and features Richmond Opera’s in-house baroque orchestra, performing on period-appropriate instruments to bring Handel’s score vividly to life.
St Mary’s University Theatre offers step-free access, ensuring the performances are accessible to all audience members.
Founded to present high-quality opera in west London and south-west London settings, Richmond Opera continues its commitment to engaging performances of operatic repertoire in welcoming, local venues.
