Another opportunity to experience Henze’s Phaedra in London

Phaedra throbbed with a strange, almost hypnotising energy and life
19 May 19 / Opera Today
It's playful, referential but ultimately deeply serious in its interrogation of human identity and free will
18 May 19 / Broadway World
Henze's parable of death and renewal is fiery and sexy
17 May 19 / The Guardian
Premiered in 2007, Phaedra is a remarkable achievement with a score full of amazing sonorities
17 May 19 / Classical Source
Henze's final opera given a sensitive and stylish new production in the Linbury Theatre
