THE MAKROPULOS CASE

Amanda Roocroft returns to ENO in the first revival of Christopher Alden's Olivier Award-nominated staging of the Czech composer's penultimate opera to star as the enigmatic Emilia Marty.

Amanda Roocroft's heartbreaking performance as the heroine in David Alden's 2006 staging of Jenáček's Jenáček won her the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera. Now she returns to ENO in the first revival of Christopher Alden's Olivier Award-nominated staging of the Czech composer's penultimate opera to star as the enigmatic Emilia Marty, the cold-hearted diva whose uncanny knowledge of past events provides the key to resolving a 100-year-old lawsuit but also unlocks ancient mysteries that call into question mankind's obsessive quest for eternal life. A co-production with the National Theatre in Prague, this striking steel-and-glass Art Deco staging is conducted by one of Britain's great conducting talents, and Janacek champion, Sir Richard Armstrong.
