We are very pleased to report that L'Ospedale has had a wonderful reception during the opening week of the run at Wilton's Music Hall (ends 21st November). With three 4-star reviews, the press response in particular has been very positive. Tickets are going fast for the second and final week, so do book while you can. See Next Performances for more information.
