Summary
André de Ridder conducts the English National Opera in the UK premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Adriana Mater at the London Coliseum, featuring Kristina Stanek and Caspar Singh.
Why it's fantastic
Kaija Saariaho’s operatic writing is famous for its shimmering, otherworldly textures that feel more like a physical environment than a standard score. This production offers a rare chance to experience her haunting meditation on conflict and motherhood, led by a conductor known for navigating the most complex modern sounds.
