Opening night of The Firework-Maker's Daughter at the Linbury Studio Theatre

Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade, 8th April

This week the Linbury Studio Theatre attracted an audience of the more minute variety with its dazzling production of The Firework-Maker’s Daughter. Based on Philip Pullman’s novel, the two-act opera transported its listeners into the realms of the Far East with papery costumes, Indonesian shadow puppetry and hand-crafted pyrotechnics.
