Summary
Edward Gardner conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra and a cast of eight soloists in a semi-staged performance of George Benjamin’s opera at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
Why it's fantastic
This contemporary opera strips away the comforts of traditional romance to explore the dangerous collision of personal desire and political power. It is a compact psycho-drama that packs a full theatrical punch into ninety minutes, making it an ideal choice for anyone curious about the darker side of modern storytelling.
