ENO in 2011/2012 English National Opera's 2011 and 2012 season will include four operas by living composers. Tom Morris (War Horse) will direct the London stage premiere of John Adams’The Death of Klinghoffer, a poetic retelling of the 1985 Achille Lauro hijacking which was a flashpoint in the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Opens 25th February, 2012. Young director Benedict Andrews (ENO’s The Return of Ulysses) unleashes an incendiary mix of power and politics, focusing on the self-destructive nature of the political dictator, in Detlev Glanert’s Caligula. Opens 25th May, 2012. Sam Brown directs Wolfgang Rihm’s Jakob Lenz, an "enthralling and thought-provoking exposé of how society makes pariahs of schizophrenics." Opens 17th April, 2012, at Hampstead Theatre. Rufus Norris (ENO’s Don Giovanni) directs the London premiere Damon Albarn’s Doctor Dee as part of the London 2012 Festival to mark the capital’s hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in which the Blur and Gorillaz frontman ponders British ritual and symbolism as he revisits the life of the influential Elizabethan John Dee. Opens 25th June, 2012. In addition, David Pountney directs the UK premiere of Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s The Passenger, which examines the terrible power the Holocaust holds over its victims and perpetrators. Opens 19th September, 2011. ENO will also present new productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Castor and Pollux (ENO’s first-ever Rameau staging), Eugene Onegin, The Tales of Hoffmann, The Flying Dutchman and Billy Budd and revivals of Jonathan Miller’s production of Donizetti's The Elixir of Love, Anthony Minghella’s of Pucccini's Madam Butterfly, David McVicar’s of Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier and Catherine Malfitano’s of Puccini's Tosca.
Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
