Linbury Studio Theatre, Bow Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 9DE
Theatre: , Opera
How Much:
£25.00 (Highest Price)
, £10.00 (Lowest Price)
A world premiere at the Linbury for a new opera by Michael Berkeley, with a story and lyrics by acclaimed novelist Ian McEwan. The master of dark storytelling has chosen an interesting subject: sexual jealousy, hatred and betrayal inside the house of a composer. The effect has been to draw a particularly brooding and passionate score from Berkeley.
This opera promises much, with a stellar team behind it and a set of themes that are at once thoroughly modern, and timeless. It may just go on to become a 21st century staple.
