Experience a season of heart-stopping, entertaining and spectacular opera this spring with English National Opera. Join us at the beautiful London Coliseum, where ENO performs some of the world's most unforgettable stories, in English.
17 February - 11 March
A close-knit community threatened by unstoppable change. A doomed love triangle in time of war and a betrayal that will lead a woman to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Award-winning director Christopher Alden returns to ENO for its first-ever production of Bellini’s masterpiece. Celebrated for its finely shaped melodies and exquisite arias, Norma is full of ravishing music.
This critically acclaimed production sets the action in a rural community in the mid-19th century. Rising star soprano Marjorie Owens sings the demanding title role, alongside Peter Auty as the love-rat Pollione who cheats on her. Bel canto specialist Stephen Lord conducts.
Tickets start from £12 (plus booking fee) with 500 tickets available at every performance for £20 or less.
