Michael Tippett 's richest, most lyrical opera, in Graham Vick 's new production for the Royal Opera. The action centres on two pairs of lovers - Jenifer and Mark and the much more down-to-earth Bella and Jack - and their search for an understanding of themselves and each other: possibly a 20th-century counterpart to Mozart's Die Zauberflote.
Introduced by Natalie Wheen.
