Death in Venice

7 + 9 March 2024

Renowned writer Gustav von Aschenbach visits Venice on a whim while looking for beauty and significance. He falls in love with Tadzio, a young aristocrat who is staying in the same hotel as his family, in the steamy atmosphere of a cholera epidemic while the scirocco is blowing. In Aschenbach’s projection of his own loneliness and longing, reality blends with fantasy. As he grows more detached from reality, his fixation intensifies to a breaking point.

Così Fan Tutte

With a brand-new production of Mozart’s comedic opera Cosí fan tutte, also known as The School for Lovers, directed by Max Hoehn (The Consul), Welsh National Opera transports you back to your childhood. In this coming-of-age story, which takes place in the early 1970s, four sixth formers learn that falling in love can be amazing, embarrassing, and difficult.

When the teacher lets the kids participate in a covert experiment, they learn a priceless lesson about liberty, love, and life. They are forced to reconsider their own identities and relationships with one another as they are presented with a number of humorous scenarios meant to trick, all set to some of Mozart’s most beautiful music.

Enter the boisterous court of the Duke of Mantua, where the court jester, Rigoletto, hides his broken heart behind a cruel wit. His only happiness in a life that borders on decadence and dishonesty is Gilda, his daughter. A sad series of events where a father’s love and treachery meet in a crescendo of passion and anguish are put in motion when the charming but womanising Duke sets his sights on Gilda.

This heartbreaking story, which is set in a decadent and brutal court, examines the complex web of love, treachery, and the effects of power.
