Heritage Opera is presenting Cosí fan tutte by Mozart in Oswestry on April 15.

It will be the fifth production that the company and its cast of six, has brought to Oswestry in the past three years. Those between the ages of seven and 18 can go to the production free, with an adult.

Mike Coppock, who is one of those behind the move to bring opera to the town said Cosi fan tutte is a hilarious morality tale.

"It is packed with beautiful music and unforeseen moral dilemmas. Unfortunately, Cosí fan tutte is one of the lesser known operas. We would love to sell more tickets.

"This production is very accessible to youngsters, and this is a great opportunity for parents to bring the kids aged seven to 18 for free to experience professional live opera."
