Teatro di San Carlo: Medea

New Production! Join us for the first ever performance of Cherubini's masterpiece at Naples' San Carlo Theatre - the world's oldest continuously active opera venue - with celebrated soprano Sondra Radvanovsky singing the tour-de-force title role made famous by Maria Callas. The opera recounts the tragic tale of Medea, a mythic sorceress betrayed by her husband Jason (award-winning tenor Francesco Meli), when he chooses to abandon her to marry Glauce (rapidly rising Italian soprano
Désirée Giove), the princess of Corinth. Overcome with grief and fury, Medea will stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance… Staged by multi award-winning film and theatre director Mario Martone, with Riccardo Frizza on the podium.
