Margaret Catchpole CDWe’re delighted to announce the release of Stephen Dodgson’s 4-act opera Margaret Catchpole today.

Recorded at Snape Maltings in summer 2019, the opera tells the story of Suffolk heroine, criminal and chronicler Margaret Catchpole. With Stephen Dodgson’s evocative music and vivid characterisation, we are immersed in the internal battle between Margaret’s own good character and values, and her heartfelt loyalty to Will Laud, a smuggler – the man she loves.

The 3-CD set is available on:
