In a few words

This powerful opera combines a tragic heroine with a flamboyant orchestra, the essential components of a piece echoing Italian verismo, a literature-derived movement which revolved around realism to counteract the dominant place given to symbolism. Great Russian soprano Elena Stikhina is Adriana Lecouvreur. Discover her decadent, powerfully moving, romantic universe. If you enjoyed Tosca, you are sure to fall for Adriana.

Introductory

Elena Stikhina is one of the most critically acclaimed singers of her era. She performed in the greatest opera houses in the world: London, New York, Paris, Milan, Vienna and Munich, which she visited as Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Aida, La forza del destino’s Leonora, or Salome and Sieglinde in Die Walküre. The Russian soprano will portray the titular character of Adriana Lecouvreur for the very first time. This piece by Francesco Cilea revolves around an actress’ tragic destiny… It received acclaim when it premiered in 1902, and has been part of the repertoire of great opera houses ever since. In this intense story of two women who find out they have the same love interest, majestic international voices are elevated by a flamboyant orchestra. The audience is sure to be transported by the lyrical stream of Cilea’s music.
