Overview
Adriana Mater is an opera staged by English National Opera at the London Coliseum, and the second part of a narrative arc that can also be paired with Tosca. It can be seen as a stand-alone story.
Set during a civil war, the opera follows Adriana, who is left pregnant after a violent attack by a soldier and decides to keep the child. She names him Yonas and raises him with devotion, keeping the truth about his father from him.
Years later, Yonas uncovers where he came from and becomes fixated on revenge. The drama builds to a confrontation in which Adriana argues that mercy, not killing, is the real measure of strength, and that the cycle of violence must be broken before people and their country can heal.
The work is presented with British Sign Language interpretation. It belongs to a season that explores resistance, resilience, hope and liberty, and it can be experienced alone or alongside Tosca as the second half of a single story.
