Why Watch Gloriana
Why Watch Gloriana
This grand opera, with a full orchestra, and a large chorus is an energetic yet poignant ode to the Tudor Queen Elizabeth I. Known as Gloriana during her reign, this three-act lavish opera sheds light on this Monarch's latter years. Her relationship with her courtier, the Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux is brought into the spotlight. Originally composed to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953, this special concert is being brought back to the stage for one night only to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee.
Get ready for a night full of Drama, Tragedy, Romance, Friendship, and coup d'états with Gloriana starring Christine Rice as Elizabeth I, Robert Murray as Robert Devereux, and directed by the ENO Music Director Martyn Brabbins. This show also features the award-winning ENO Chorus and Orchestra
