Barrie Kosky’s sensational staging of Handel’s oratorio marries spectacle and psychology. Experience Kosky's extraordinary creativity ahead of his return next summer with our first-ever production of Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites.

Plus, get a taste of a Glyndebourne Encore subscription and enjoy an exclusive introduction from opera specialist Alexandra Coghlan. Alexandra is joined by Handel biographer Jonathan Keates and novelist Donna Leon to take a closer look at Saul and explore how the opera and this production break the mould.

The cast includes Christopher Purves (Saul), Iestyn Davies (David), Sophie Bevan (Michal) and Paul Appleby (Jonathan) with conductor Ivor Bolton and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
