Concert Information

In the chilling intensity of August Strindberg’s play Miss Julie, the composer William Alwyn found all he needed to write one of the most red-blooded operatic tragedies Britain has ever produced. Alwyn learned lessons from the movies and from Puccini in creating a tense and dramatic opera, known for its signature aria of sexual frenzy ‘Midsummer Night’. The neglected composer’s operatic tale of infatuation and class tension returns to the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú for the first time since its premiere in 1977.

The Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo are joined by an international cast for a landmark concert staging.
