ENO What's On in 2017/18 by English National Opera

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On in 2017/18 Family feuds, lascivious lovers, breathtaking betrayals, devastating deaths and flocks of frolicking fairies.

Welcome to English National Opera

ENO’s 2017/18 Season embraces a bold mixture of the old and new. Our audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy a whole raft of extraordinary opera, from the masterpieces of Handel and Mozart to the contemporary works of Philip Glass and Nico Muhly. We open in September with the first of our two major Verdi highlights this season: a striking new interpretation of his masterpiece Aida. We are delighted to welcome back conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson and director Phelim McDermott, who will also return later in the season to revive his iconic production of Philip Glass’s Satyagraha. It is absolutely imperative that ENO continues to develop innovative new work, and so we are thrilled to give the world premiere of Marnie, Nico Muhly’s fresh take on Winston Graham’s modern classic. Directed by Tony Award-winner Michael Mayer, this production will be the first conducted by Martyn Brabbins since his appointment as ENO Music Director in 2016. Following the success of last season’s The Pirates of Penzance, Cal McCrystal’s new production of Iolanthe will further strengthen ENO’s reputation as the premier home for the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. Moving from the hilarious to the heartbreaking, our final new production of the 2017/18 Season is a sweepingly romantic, sumptuous interpretation of La traviata from Artistic Director Daniel Kramer. For decades, ENO has enjoyed a very special relationship with the music of both Handel and Britten, and we are therefore excited to welcome back both Richard Jones’s Olivier Award-winning Rodelinda, and Robert Carsen’s magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and to stage a new production of The Turn of the Screw in collaboration with Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Jonathan Miller’s riotously funny production of The Barber of Seville and Fiona Shaw’s much-loved The Marriage of Figaro both make welcome returns to the London Coliseum stage. It is fundamental to ENO that cost is never a barrier for anyone wishing to experience extraordinary opera, and so we continue to offer 500 tickets at £20 or less for every single performance. Thank you for supporting us, and we hope to welcome you to an ENO performance soon.

Giuseppe Verdi Antonio Ghislanzoni, after a scenario by Auguste Mariette 28 September – 2 December Sep 28, Oct 3, 6, 9, 11, 19, 21, 27, 31 & Nov 10, 17, 27, 29 at 19.30 Oct 14 & Nov 4 at 18.30 Dec 2 at 15.00 16 performances Running time: 2hrs 50mins Aida is a timeless story of duty, love and betrayal amid the clash of war. Composed in 1871, Aida contrasts swaggering military parades and solemn rituals with such tender lyricism as Radamès’s ‘Goddess Aida’ (‘Celeste Aida‘) and his and Aida’s heart-breaking ‘Farewell, life’ (‘O terra addio‘). This is opera on a grand scale, in which the full power of ENO’s award-winning Chorus and Orchestra will play their part. Following his recent Akhnaten for ENO, Improbable’s award-winning director Phelim McDermott stages this distinctive new production of Verdi’s masterpiece. Conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson, who made her successful company debut with The Girl of the Golden West in 2013, returns to ENO. Sharing the title role are two sopranos closely identified with Aida – Latonia Moore and Morenike Fadayomi – both of whom are making their ENO debuts. As Radamès, we welcome back the popular ENO artist Gwyn Hughes Jones. Mezzos Michelle DeYoung and Dana Beth Miller share the role of Amneris, while Musa Ngqungwana makes his UK operatic debut as the defeated Ethiopian ruler Amonasro.

Making his role debut as Dr Bartolo is Alan Opie, a long-standing and much-loved ENO artist. Former ENO Harewood Artist Sarah Tynan adds the feisty Rosina to her growing list of roles for the company, while baritone Morgan Pearse and tenor Eleazar Rodríguez reprise their highly acclaimed roles as the barber Figaro and Count Almaviva respectively. British conductor Hilary Griffiths, a regular at the Prague State Opera during the last quarter of a century, makes his ENO debut.

When Grimoaldo takes Bertarido’s throne, Bertarido flees abroad, leaving behind his grieving wife Rodelinda. The usurper tries to force Rodelinda to love him, but when the exiled king returns in disguise, everyone is put to the test. Acknowledged as one of Handel’s finest operas, Rodelinda is filled with intense drama told through ravishingly beautiful music, including Rodelinda’s heart-breaking lament ‘I have lost him, my loving husband’ (‘Ho perduto il caro sposo‘). Award-winning director Richard Jones brings his distinctive theatrical imagination to a production, first seen at ENO in 2014, that sets Handel’s bitter political drama in Fascist Italy.

Heading the cast is Rebecca Evans, whose performance of the title role in 2014 was hailed as ‘perfection’ (Daily Telegraph). Also returning for this first revival is the ever-versatile Susan Bickley (Eduige) and Baroque-specialist conductor Christian Curnyn, who received great acclaim for Partenope at ENO in 2017. Tim Mead, regarded as one of the UK’s finest countertenors, adds Bertarido to his roster of ENO roles. ‘Inspired’ ★★★★ Evening Standard Pre-performance talk: 1 Nov, 17.45-18.30, £5/£2.50 concs Co-production with the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia

Nico Muhly Nicholas Wright, after Winston Graham World premiere 18 November – 3 December Nov 18, 28 & Dec 1 at 19.30 Nov 26 at 18.30 Dec 3 at 15.00 5 performances Marnie is a compelling psychological thriller set in England during the late 1950s. A young woman makes her way through life by embezzling from her employers, before she moves on and changes her identity. When her current boss Mark Rutland catches her red-handed, he blackmails her into a loveless marriage. Marnie is left with no choice but to confront the hidden trauma from her past. Nico Muhly’s second world premiere for ENO follows Two Boys in 2011. Based on Winston Graham’s novel Marnie and inspired by the screenplay, Muhly’s opera examines the cost of freedom, the limitations of forgiveness and the impossibility of escaping the past in music that is direct and powerful. Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Funny Girl, and Rigoletto at New York’s Metropolitan Opera) makes his UK opera debut, collaborating with contemporary music specialist ENO Music Director Martyn Brabbins. Grammy Awardwinning mezzo Sasha Cooke sings the title role, while acclaimed Canadian bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch makes his company debut as Mark Rutland.

Book by Philip Glass and Constance De Jong 1–27 February Feb 1, 7, 14, 16, 22, 27 at 19.00 Feb 10 at 18.00 7 performances Running time: 3hrs 15mins Satyagraha is Philip Glass’s meditation on Gandhi’s early years in South Africa, tracing the progress of his concept of non-violent protest as a positive force for change. First staged in 2007, Phelim McDermott’s highly acclaimed, spectacularly theatrical production is a visual feast. Glass’s use of repetitive musical structures – ‘minimalism’– creates a mesmerising soundscape, quite unlike traditional operas. For this revival, McDermott is reunited with Glass specialist and frequent collaborator, the conductor Karen Kamensek, following the Olivier Award-winning run of Akhnaten in 2016. Distinguished British tenor Toby Spence, whose previous ENO roles include Tamino (The Magic Flute) and Lensky (Eugene Onegin), sings Gandhi for the first time, and is joined by sopranos Charlotte Beament (Miss Schelesen) and Anna-Clare Monk (Mrs Naidoo). ‘An unmissable masterpiece’ ★★★★★ Daily Telegraph

Phyllis and Strephon wish to marry, but as she is a ward of court she requires the Lord Chancellor’s permission. He, however, wants her for himself. With madcap fairies in the Palace of Westminster and honourable members of the Lords in Arcadia, when Strephon turns out to be the son of the Lord Chancellor and the exiled fairy Iolanthe, all is cast into confusion. Matched by Sullivan’s ever-melodious score – with its echoes of Mendelssohn’s music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream– Gilbert not only targets peers of the realm, but also offers thinly disguised portraits of Queen Victoria, John Brown (her personal servant and ‘close companion’), Lord Randolph Churchill (reformist Tory) and William Gladstone (Liberal PM of the day).

Britten’s opera is based on Shakespeare’s popular comedy, which follows the consequences of a fallingout between the fairy-king Oberon and his queen, Tytania. Mistaken identities, confused lovers and alarming transformations are the result. Returning to ENO, Robert Carsen’s visually exquisite production explores the blurred relationships between reality and dreams, the natural and supernatural, and sexual desire.

1–15 March Mar 1, 8, 10, 14, 15 at 19.30 Mar 4 at 15.00 6 performances Running time: 3hrs

From the sliding string chords of the magic wood to the rustics’ well-intentioned entertainment, Britten’s ear for beguiling orchestration and melodic invention will enchant and entice you. Leading the cast as Oberon and Tytania are countertenor Christopher Ainslie and soprano Soraya Mafi, ENO’s recently acclaimed Mabel (The Pirates of the Penzance). The roles of the lovers are taken by a quartet of rising stars – Eleanor Dennis as Helena, Clare Presland as Hermia, David Webb as Lysander, and Matthew Durkan as Demetrius. Joshua Bloom as Bottom heads a stellar line-up of posturing rural companions that includes Robert Murray as Flute and Timothy Robinson as Snout.

La traviata tells the story of the tragic love between the courtesan Violetta and the romantic Alfredo Germont. Played out against the hypocrisy of upper-class fashionable society, in which preserving one’s social reputation is paramount, Alfredo and Violetta’s love threatens to shame his family. When his father directly appeals to Violetta to relinquish her one chance of happiness, Violetta submits and her act of self-sacrifice leads to her paying the ultimate price. La traviata remains one of Verdi’s most popular stage works. Contrasting spectacular party scenes with tender, intimate moments, Verdi’s opera features one of the most iconic, romantic and tragic scores of all time.

Susanna and Figaro conspire with the forsaken Countess to outwit her husband and teach him a lesson in fidelity. But when the teenage Cherubino involves himself in their plans, relationships become severely strained through a series of ever-more confusing twists and turns. From the moment the celebrated Overture begins, Mozart’s masterpiece reveals much about the human condition through consummate wit, grace and joyous musical invention. ENO Music Director Martyn Brabbins conducts this second revival of Fiona Shaw’s critically acclaimed production, which uses a maze-like set to reflect the complexity of this comic tour de force. The cast includes Lucy Crowe, a Mozartian soprano of international standing, as the despondent Countess, while rising bass-baritone Ashley Riches sings the philandering Count for the first time. Popular ENO Harewood Artist Rhian Lois is the ever-resourceful Susanna, alongside Dutch baritone Thomas Oliemans as Figaro, while Harewood Artist Katie Coventry sings her first Cherubino. ‘A thoroughly enjoyable evening’ The Times Pre-performance talk: 4 Apr, 17.45-18.30, £5/£2.50 concs

ENO Studio Live (26 May – 6 June) is a series of performances that enable our Staff Directors to create and deliver their own fully staged productions within a studio environment. It also allows scope for members of the ENO Chorus to take on principal roles. The Turn of the Screw Regent‘s Park Open Air Theatre, June 2018 Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and English National Opera rediscover Benjamin Britten's The Turn of the Screw. The story of unearthly encounters at a remote country house, and of a young governess desperate to protect her children from certain evil, finds chilling new levels of suspense in this unique outdoor production at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Members of the ENO Orchestra will bring their award-winning skills to Britten‘s masterly reworking of Henry James's classic novella. The Turn of the Screw is directed by triple Olivier Award-winner Timothy Sheader. As Artistic Director of the Open Air Theatre, Sheader has introduced the works of Chekhov, Miller, Wilde and Dickens, and his productions of To Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies have also enjoyed successful UK tours.

London Coliseum partnerships and visiting companies We are proud of the unforgettable work we produce in our theatre, and are delighted to have some excellent partnerships that allow us to realise the potential of the building while we are not at home. Across 2018 we will be welcoming ballet, dance and musicals from companies such as English National Ballet, Opera North and Grade Linnit. English National Ballet and English National Ballet Philharmonic return in December 2017 with the perennial favourite Nutcracker alongside two double bills in January 2018; Kenneth MacMillan’s masterpiece Song of the Earth and Frank Andersen’s captivating La Sylphide followed by Roland Petit's Le Jeune Homme et La Mort and La Sylphide. We are joined in June by our close associates, Opera North. Established in 1977 as English National Opera North, an offshoot of ENO, in 1981 the company renamed and went independent as Opera North. They bring their highly-acclaimed musical Kiss Me, Kate. Cole Porter’s riotously inventive homage to the sparkling wit of Shakespeare is an irresistible celebration of the joy and madness of working in theatre. The summer will see a return of our co-production partner Grade Linnit for another semi-staged musical. Following the phenomenal success of Sweeney Todd, Sunset Boulevard and Carousel, we look forward to the announcement of the production for dates in June 2018. Before English National Ballet takes up residence, we welcome two amazing dance productions. Amore is the Bolshoi Ballet superstar Svetlana Zakharova’s new triple bill which combines flawless classical ballet with a modish twist. Amore features guest appearances from Bolshoi stars Mikhail Lobukhin, Denis Rodkin, and Denis Savin among others, and live music from the award-winning ENO Orchestra. For two nights only, an all-star cast joins Ivan Putrov in the new Men in Motion programme, a celebration of the role of the male dancer over the last century.

Ticket Prices and Seating Plan

ENO’s tickets start from £12* with over 500 seats available at £20 or less for every performance. Inside the fold out cover you will find a seating plan showing how the different price bands are located throughout the theatre, along with a calendar of our 2017/18 performance dates. Next to each performance date on the calendar you will find a triangle, circle or square to indicate how the performance is priced. Please note that seats in rows H–L in the Dress Circle and K–L in the Upper Circle have no view of the surtitles but do have a full and clear view of the stage. Boxes are not currently available to book online. If you would like to book one of our boxes please call the ENO Box Office on 020 7845 9300. The prices shown above are for ENO performances only. Ticket prices are correct at time of going to print and are guaranteed to remain at these levels at least until public booking.
