Royal Opera - The Makropulos Case at the Royal Opera House, London

Royal Opera - The Makropulos Case

Acclaimed director Katie Mitchell stages a new production of Janáček’s haunting and enigmatic opera The Makropulos Case, which puts the human soul on the stand.

In its first-ever staging with The Royal Opera, Janáček’s haunting and enigmatic masterpiece is reimagined through a contemporary lens by Katie Mitchell (Theodora, Lucia di Lammermoor), who explores what it means to love, and at what cost. Ausrine Stundyte makes a welcome return to the house to sing the mysterious Emilia Marty, whose immortality is both a gift and a curse. Music Director of The Royal Opera Jakub Hrůša conducts.

Emilia Marty, a famous and mysterious opera singer, has lived for over 300 years thanks to an elixir of immortality. But when she becomes entangled in a battle to obtain a crucial document that will help her renew the life-extending formula, she begins to grapple with the emptiness and isolation her centuries-long existence has brought her.
