​

"Northern Opera Group excel in imaginative and satisfying performance"

(Opera Now)

Brought to power in a populist wave, Silla surrounds himself with loyalists and sycophants.

​

Taking what - and who - he wants, power quickly corrupts.

​

It may be that those closest to him are in fact his greatest threat ...

A story as resonant now as it was when originally performed in 1713, don't miss this outstanding new production of a true operatic rarity.

​

Accompanied by the Eboracum Baroque Orchestra in a new English translation by Martin Pickard.
