Random Opera Company presents: La Sonnambula

Jilted lovers, a mysterious stranger, the hint of a ghost story: Bellini’s La sonnambula mingles comedy with melodrama in its tale of a young woman found in the wrong place at the wrong time. From Jenny Lind to Maria Callas, Amina – the sleepwalker of the title – has been embodied by some of opera’s greatest divas and her crowning aria is a showstopper. As ever in opera, themes of madness, misunderstanding and betrayal loom large; will Amina have her happy ending, or end in despair?

Random Opera Company's cast of professional artists bring this delightful work to the stage, under the direction of Random Opera's Artistic Director, Richard Tegid Jones, and accompanied on the piano by Musical Director Kelvin Lim. It is difficult to see why this bel canto gem is not more often performed in the UK. This makes it even more special for Random Opera as we stage the first UK performance in ten years.

This work is presented in the original Italian language, with English subtitles.
