Hans Pfitzner's epic opera in the new Royal Opera production by Nikolaus Lehnhoff, its first fully professional staging in Britain, 80 years after its premiere in Munich. This production celebrates the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Covent Garden Opera Company. American tenor Thomas Moser stars as Palestrina, the 16th-century Italian composer who, according to legend, composed his Missa Papae Marcelli in a single night and so saved polyphony from abolition by the Catholic church, such was the impact of the work's purity and perfection. For Pfitzner, who wrote his own libretto, Palestrina was a drama of two worlds: the inner world of Palestrina himself, and the hectic tumult of the outside world, with its satirical view of the Catholic church.

Introduced by Piers Burton-Page.
Sung in German.
Royal Opera Chorus, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, conductor Christian Thielemann
