The Magic Flute
Mozart

The Magic Flute is an enchanting story with all the elements of great opera - drama, magic and Mozart´s musical genius. From the stratospheric arias of the Queen of the Night to the jolly folk tunes of the bird catcher Papageno, join Prince Tamino in his quest for his ideal bride, through trials of silence, fire and water, and the clashing forces of Night and Day. ETO´s new production, sung in Jeremy Sam's witty English translation, is directed by physical theatre specialist Liam Steel and promises to be a memorable night for all ages!

Katya Kabanova
Janacek

Janacek’s Katya Kabanova is the moving story of a sensitive married woman who falls in love with an attractive young man.  This near-perfect blend of music and drama is based on the Russian play, The Storm; like the play it is dominated by the Volga, a brooding, fateful presence.  Inspired by the composer’s own love for a married woman, Katya is a character with whom every listener falls in love; she transcends the small town prejudices that overwhelm the other characters.
