Torn apart by a tragic accident on the night of their elopement, Leonora and Don Alvaro seek refuge in spirituality and solitude. But when war brings Alvaro side-by-side with Leonora's estranged brother, the legacy of the past threatens to plunge their lives into turmoil once again.
With its haunting melodic refrain, the rousing 'Rataplan' march and Leonora's soaring prayer, 'La vergine degli angeli', Christof Loy's incisive production returns, conducted by Mark Elder and with vivid choreography by Otto Pichler.
