Baroque meets jukebox musical in a wryly topical Beggar’s Opera at EIF

By David Smythe, 16 August 2018

A wry and topical new version of The Beggar’s Opera from Robert Carsen and Ian Burton from Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord is energetic, fun and amusing. Les Arts Florissants provide colourful Baroque accompaniment.
