About

Vincenzo Bellini’s bel canto masterpiece is transformed in Richard Jones’ compelling new staging, which stars Lisette Oropesa as the devoted and deeply vulnerable heroine Elvira, and Francesco Demuro as her courageous lover. With virtuosic coloratura passages and ethereal, otherworldly arias, Bellini’s score imbues I puritani with profound emotional depth, the opera exploring, in equal parts, the tenderness of true love and the shattering anguish of loss. Conductor Riccardo Frizza makes his debut with The Royal Opera.
