A remarkable opera, depicting a gripping story of forbidden love, betrayal and revenge, set in Ancient Ireland.

Premiere performances: 16 and 19 October 2025 at the National Theatre

The Legend of Erin

Deemed W. A. Mozart’s first opera masterpiece, Idomeneo presents a ravishing musical rendition of conflict with patriarchal authority, amorous passion and fate.

We present at the State opera

Idomeneo

For over 150 years, The Bartered Bride has occupied the top position among Czech operas. Said to be now part of the Czech DNA, its popularity eclipses that of any other feted Bedřich Smetana opera.

We present at the National Theatre

The Bartered Bride

Phenomenal chorus scenes, extremely impassioned virtuoso arias, as well as the perennially topical themes of expansive war, lust for power, betrayal, life and death.

We present at the State Opera

Nabucco
