Adriana Mater - English National Opera
Adriana Mater is a rarely staged opera by Kaija Saariaho at English National Opera, telling the harrowing story of a woman who, pregnant after being assaulted by a soldier, strives to raise her son to reject revenge and break the cycle of violence. Inspired by war correspondent Amin Maalouf's experiences, it offers a powerful exploration of war, motherhood, and redemption.
