Adriana Mater

Event: Adriana Mater
Date: April 24th 2008

The Barbican, known to be one of London's top venues for music, is to host an opera of the modern era which addresses a number of pertinent issues in today's society.

Those staying at luxury London hotel the Egerton with an interest in theatre breaks can see Adriana Mater on April 24th 2008.

Adriana Mater tells the story, through opera, of a woman who is a victim of the brutality of war.

Female travellers staying at the Red Carnation Hotel may wish to see this opera, which details the life of the woman's son who on discovering the origins of his conception vows to kill his rapist father.

Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho offers audiences an unexpected end to the story, described by the New York Times as a "narrative from our own age" and yet "a story for all time".
