OUR NEXT PRODUCTION...
Opera Falstaff
28 to 28 February 2026
This 2021 production from the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino has two major assets in Nicola Alaimo and Ailyn Perez…Falstaff reacts with such precision to the items (and their prices) on his food and drink bill without mugging or overstatement. His facial expressions as Ford asks him to seduce Alice, or his horror in the Herne’s Oak scene, are worth the watch on their own.
What’s on at The Apollo Theatre in Newport, Isle of Wight
Welcome to the Apollo Theatre
The Apollo Theatre is a member of the Little Theatres Guild of Great Britain (LTG). The building was originally a tiny Methodist chapel in Newport, Isle of Wight, which was bought in 1970 and converted by a team of dedicated volunteers under the inspired leadership of John Hancock, whose idea the whole thing was and without whose commitment and enthusiasm we wouldn’t be what we are now – the Island’s premier little theatre. The first productions were put on the Apollo stage in 1972 – and what a long way we’ve come since then!
