Premiered in 1843, Wagner’s first great opera looks back to the Gothic mysteries of his youth, opening with a thrilling storm in which echoes of Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Weber can be heard, and punctuated by folk-like ballads for the sailors whose lives depend on the sea and the women who wait for their return.

Giuseppe Verdi 19 July – 2 August 2025Meticulously detailed in its depiction of the decadence of nineteenth century Paris, Verdi’s portrait of a celebrated courtesan in love with a callow bourgeois youth was his only opera on a contemporary subject and was heavily censored at its 1853 premiere. Rodula Gaitanou’s “dazzling” (The Guardian) and “world class” (The Stage) production of La traviata returns to Holland Park with an outstanding cast.
