Event location: London Coliseum. Ongoing event.
In this vibrant production, devised by acclaimed director Peter Sellars, the rich and transcendent score of Purcell's final unfinished opera is reworked around a new text and the inclusion of a number of Purcell's most ravishing religious anthems.
This new retelling of The Indian Queen recounts the initial confrontation between Europeans and the Mayans of the New World through a personal account from the female perspective, which Sellars has based on The Lost Chronicles of Terra Firma by Nicaraguan author Rosario Aguilar.
The production is a spectacle of music, theatre, dance, literature and visual art and features stunning set designs from LA-based graffiti artist, Gronk.
The musical team is led by baroque specialist Laurence Cummings, artistic director of major early music festivals in Britain and Germany. With an integral contribution from the ENO Chorus, the cast of The Indian Queen includes the exceptional young soprano Julia Bullock, for whom Sellars created the role, and leading British lyric soprano Lucy Crowe.
The Indian Queen is sung and surtitled in English
