Summary
André de Ridder conducts Kristina Stanek and the English National Opera in the UK premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s work, featuring an English translation by Aleksi Barrière, at the London Coliseum.
Why it's fantastic
This contemporary tragedy delivers a powerful meditation on hope and violence through the haunting, luminous soundscapes of composer Kaija Saariaho. With a full running time of two and a half hours, the production explores a mother’s resilience against the backdrop of conflict in an intensely atmospheric modern masterpiece.
