The event will take place on Tuesday 10th November at 7.00pm (Showing starts at 7.30pm).
With a libretto by W. H. Auden and set design by David Hockney the opera offers a unique take on Hogarth's classic tale of decadence and depravity, rendering all of the glorious detail of Hogarth's prints in a musical technicolor spectacle. Copies of the DVD are now also available in the Hogarth’s House shop.
Spaces are limited so to book a place please call Hogarth’s House on 020 8994 6757 or email hogarthshouse@carillionservices.co.uk
