Adriana Mater, an opera that will stay with you long after the curtain falls, will be live at the London Coliseum in 2026. In a world shaped by war, Kaija Saariaho’s opera, Adriana Mater finds hope where it seems impossible. Powerful and rarely staged, this ENO debut unites Artistic Director Annilese Miskimmon and Music Director Designate André de Ridder in their first collaboration. Experience Adriana Mater as a stand-alone story, or paired with Tosca as the second half of a bold narrative arc contributing to a season that brings stories of resistance, resilience, hope and what it means to be free. _Sung in English, with surtitles projected above the stage._ Age guidance: 15+ This opera depicts violence and sexual violence including a rape, depictions of alcoholism, scenes of war and contemplation of murder.
