The Cumnor Affair is a whodunit with a difference: an operatic murder mystery set in Elizabethan England. The atmospheric tale of intrigue has been brought to the stage by novelist Iain Pears, opera company Tête à Tête and the Royal Academy of Music's Phillip Cashian. It's 1560 and the dead body of Amy Roberts is found in stately Cumnor Place while her swindling spouse, Robert Earl of Dudley, is away romping with Her Majesty. As the questions pile up, so too does the drama in a stirring synthesis of contemporary opera and traditional theatre.
