La Juive
Stephanie Hughes presents a rare performance of Fromental Halevy's La Juive at the Barbican Hall, London. Eleazar is a Jewish goldsmith under persecution from the Catholic Cardinal
Brogni. Eleazar's daughter loves a Jew who is of course already married to someone else. It all ends with a tragic twist of fate, and death by boiling oil.
