Jane Eyre - Green Opera & Arcola Theatre (Grimeborn Festival)

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me.”

Arcola Theatre and Green Opera proudly present John Joubert’s Jane Eyre — his final opera, now fully staged for the first time.

First heard in concert with the English Symphony Orchestra under Kenneth Woods, this bold adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s novel follows one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her own terms. Facing adversity, injustice, and a shattering betrayal, Jane’s journey unfolds through a dynamic cast of young performers, directed by Eleanor Burke.

As Green Opera’s second production of the season and fifth for the Grimeborn Opera Festival, Jane Eyre continues the company’s mission to combine dramatic vision with environmentally conscious practices.
