1560. The union of Don Carlos and Elizabeth of Valois has the power to bring about a new era of peace between Spain and France. But when Carlos’s father, Philip II, decides to marry Elizabeth himself, it triggers a crisis that engulfs the whole of Europe, pitting nation against nation and father against son.

Brian Jagde and Lise Davidsen play the young lovers, with Luca Micheletti as Posa and Yulia Matochkina making her House debut as Eboli. Daniele Rustioni conducts Verdi’s mighty score in this revival of Nicholas Hytner’s spectacular production, steeped in the gilt and gore of Renaissance art.
