Maybe only when one encounters an exceptional staging, with musical standards to match, does it really hit home with its full power. That’s the case with Welsh National Opera’s new production by Adele Thomas, who makes her directorial debut with the company that she will co-lead from January next year.

A stunning production of Verdi’s masterpiece about betrayal and revenge.
Morning Star ****
Verdi’s dark masterpiece shines with stellar performances at WNO
Buzz ****
This production is a showcase for the strengths that WNO has long come to represent. Not only do audiences get to enjoy world-class soloists, but the production also highlights the outstanding musical contributions of the chorus and orchestra. They are the beating heart of the company and must be protected at all costs.
