Boulevard Solitude by Henze, Thu 03 Apr 2014, From (2014/2014), Directed by Mariusz Treliński, Conductor Lothar Koenigs, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, United Kingdom

Manon and Armand are in love. But can their love survive when a world of sex, drugs and crime intrudes on their happiness? Hans Werner Henze’s powerful, intoxicating opera is a compelling vision of post-war Europe. Combining jazz, 19th century opera and 20th century styles - this is opera but not as you know it. Award winning Theatre, Opera and Film Director Mariusz Trelinski sets his production against a gritty, cinematic backdrop of an underground station where temptation and lust lurk around every corner. Boulevard Solitude is performed by a world-class cast alongside the WNO Chorus and Orchestra. Join us for an evening at the theatre which promises to overwhelm the senses.
