Katya Kabanova
London Coliseum, London
Sat, 27th March 2010 - Sat, 27th March 2010
From £22.00*David Alden follows his double Olivier Award-winning production of Janáček's Jenůfa with a new staging of the Czech composer's later lyrical masterpiece, Katya Kabanova. A claustrophobically intense yet heart-rending study of sexual morality within a close-knit community, it was inspired by Janáček's erotic obsession with a younger married woman. Stunning singing actress Patricia Racette makes her ENO debut as the passionate soul trapped in a loveless marriage, with Stuart Skelton (a sensational Peter Grimes in another Alden staging in 2009) as the stranger who offers her a brief hope of happiness. Janáček's most lyrically emotional score is conducted by Mark Wigglesworth with an outstanding cast also featuring Susan Bickley, Clive Bayley, John Graham-Hall, Anna Grevelius and Alfie Boe. Costumes were built by The Dallas Opera Costume Workshop A co-production with Teatro Nacional de Sao Carlos, Lisbon and Teatr Wielki-Opera Narodowa, Warsaw Supported by The Friends of ENO Running time: 1hr 40mins CAST: Katerina Kabanova Patricia Racette; Marfa Kabanicha Susan Bickley; Varvara Anna Grevelius; Boris Grigoryevich Stuart Skelton; Vanya Kudrjas Alfie Boe; Tikhon Ivanich Kabanov John Graham-Hall; Dikoy Clive Bayley; Kuligin William Robert Allenby Conductor Mark Wigglesworth; Director David Alden; Set Designer Charles Edwards; Costume Designer Jon Morrell; Lighting Designer Adam Silverman
