Adriana Mater at London Coliseum

Adriana Mater comes to the London Coliseum in a rare UK staging of Kaija Saariaho's acclaimed contemporary opera.

Presented by English National Opera, this emotionally powerful production explores the enduring effects of violence, the strength of compassion, and the difficult choices that shape generations.

Set during a civil war, the story follows Adriana, who raises her son Yonas after surviving a brutal assault. As he grows older and discovers the truth about his past, he is driven toward revenge, forcing mother and son to confront painful questions about justice, mercy, and whether love can overcome the cycle of violence. With Saariaho's haunting score and deeply moving storytelling, Adriana Mater is a remarkable operatic experience.
