Produced in collaboration with The Hungarian State Opera, Joseph Haydn’s rarely performed masterpiece is a unique take on a story from Torquato Tasso’s “Jerusalem Delivered” – an epic poem that served as source material for a whole slew of famous operas from Handel to Dvořak. Centered around the larger themes of Love and War, this piece delves into human psychology by exploring duty and glory in conflict with desire, passion, and commitment – all through the story of the magical love affair between a sorceress and a knight.

 

The production, featuring young artists from the Hungarian State Opera Studio performing alongside Opera Neo young artists, is directed by András Almási-Tóth and conducted by Peter Kozma.
