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
Kaija Saariaho’s haunting score finds beauty in a story of resilience set against the backdrop of a divided country. You might recognise the soloists from major European stages, bringing a gritty realism to this intense tale of a mother protecting her son from the shadows of his father’s past.
