An explosion of love and treachery.
Welcoming back the great Moldovan bass Vladimir Dragos, the Ukrainian tenor Vitalii Liskovetskyi from the Kyiv Opera and the international Korean star Elena Dee together with the international Ukrainian soprano Alyona Kistenyova from the Odessa Opera*.
Brilliantly sung- The Times (Royal Albert Hall)
This traditional production is a heady mixture of true love, torture and treachery, with two of the best roles for tenor and soprano, plus a truly blood curdling villain. A magnificent new set with towering marble pillars, fabulous costumes, and featuring a boys' choir with a shepherd’s boy solo, this most popular of operas is sure to delight with its tender, moving arias Vissi d’arte and E Lucevan le Stelle.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles. Please note: some seats may have a restricted view of the surtitles. Please check when booking tickets. All information is correct at time of release. Production features two Royal Greyhounds.

Edinburgh Playhouse
Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
