The Makropulos Case - Royal Ballet and Opera in London
Critically acclaimed director Katie Mitchell (Theodora, Lucia di Lammermoor) brings to life this revival of Leos Janacek’s haunting opera, The Makopulos Case, in which famous opera singer Emilia Marty finds the secret to immortality. But when her elixir for eternal life begins running out, she must find a secret document to help her renew the formula, while grappling with the loneliness and emptiness that comes with living forever. Music Director of The Royal Opera Jakub Hrůša conducts and Ausrine Stundyte returns to the house to sing as the mysterious, tormented Emilia.
Composed in the 1920s, The Makropulos Case (or The Makropulos Affair) is unique for its modernist musical style, dark philosophical themes, and complex psychological examination of the nature of humanity. This is reflected in its powerful score, which employs short, repetitive motifs, sharp contrasts, and rhythmic irregularities to create an unsettling, captivating soundscape, alongside speech melodies that mimic the inflections of spoken language. Opera enthusiasts will be blown away by this technically challenging and complex opera, and the dark tale will appeal to all of those who are fascinated by stories of immortals, which have captivated the human imagination for centuries.
