In the 150th anniversary year of the composer's birth, the New London Orchestra and a cast of distinguished soloists under the direction of Ronald Corp give the only London performance of Frederick Delius's fourth opera, A Village Romeo and Juliet (1899-1901), an opera that contains music of unexpected beauty and power.

Based on the story of the same title from the first series of the Swiss author Gottfried Keller's 'Die Leute von Seldwyla', the opera's six scenes contain music of unexpected beauty and power, and include the orchestral favourite, The Walk to the Paradise Garden.
