Medea
w London Coliseum
Medea the French full scale opera at London Coliseum. Tickets for Medea the Opera in London can be booked here!
Banished, betrayed, besieged on all sides, the barbarian sorceress Me-dea exacts a terrible vengeance upon her faithless lover and all those he holds most dear.
Following the ‘knockout success’ (whatsonstage.com) of Rameau’s Cas-tor and Pollux, ENO continues its pioneering exploration of French ba-roque operatic masterpieces with the first-ever UK/London staging of Charpentier’s dramatic full-scale opera.
Celebrated opera director David McVicar makes a welcome return to ENO to rework one of the most enduringly disturbing of all the Greek myths – that of a mother who murders her own children – Charpentier’s thrillingly orchestrated score boasts a harmonic daring and psychological complexity unparalleled in its day.
