An opera in three acts from the Teatro Real, Madrid

David Wilson-Johnson, Stuart Skelton, Eva Marton, Carol Vaness with The Madrid symphony Orchestra and Choir

Conductor - Jos de Eusebio

Enjoy the world premiere of the full and original version of Merlin by Isaac Albéniz, over a century after he completed the work. Albéniz composed this 'Wagnerian' opera to an English libretto by his patron Francis Burdett Money-Coutts between 1898 and 1902. Many believed the score was lost, until the conductor Jos De Eusebio reconstructed it from various manuscript sources and publishers' proofs. For this stunning production director John Drew created a world of magic and fantasy, using evocative sets, and splendid lighting.
