Another opportunity to experience Henze’s Phaedra in London

Henze’s voluptuous concert opera takes hold in a visceral Royal Opera production

Phaedra throbbed with a strange, almost hypnotising energy and life

It's playful, referential but ultimately deeply serious in its interrogation of human identity and free will

Henze's parable of death and renewal is fiery and sexy

Premiered in 2007, Phaedra is a remarkable achievement with a score full of amazing sonorities
