Mimi and the Golden Touch

English Touring Opera performs Mimi and the Golden Touch, a family opera retelling the King Midas myth for families and Learning Disabled audiences.

English Touring Opera returns to Garsington with Mimi and the Golden Touch, a new family opera co-created with students at Briarwood School in Bristol. It retells the Greek myth of King Midas, following Mimi, a lonely schoolgirl who sprouts donkey ears after meeting her friend Sonni and sets off on a quest to become popular, only to learn that being drawn to all things shiny isn't what it seems. Created for families and Learning Disabled audiences, the performance starts at 10.30am and the café will be open serving teas, coffees and cakes. Advance booking is required as tickets cannot be bought on the door.
