La Juive - Vlaanderen

A heavy, slow-burning tragedy that immerses you in religious tension and operatic sorrow, demanding full attention.

Directed by

Peter Konwitschny

Starring

Roy Cornelius Smith, Corinne Winters, Nicole Chevalier

Overview

In a city gripped by religious fanaticism, a Jewish goldsmith and his daughter face the perils of being outsiders. A great secret could save their lives - or else bring death and revenge. One of the great achievements of French opera, Fromental Halévy's La Juive was controversial from the start. For some an insult to religion and the state, for others a plea for tolerance, it is above all a human tragedy about a persecuted family. Roy Cornelius Smith and Corinne Winters star in this award-winning production by director Peter Konwitschny.
