The English National Opera has announced the internationally renowned conductor and singers for the newly created concert of Mozart’s Women: A Musical Journey. The concert will also be filmed by Factory Films for Sky Arts to be broadcast later this year.
Created to tell the story of one of the world’s greatest composers and his relationships with the women who influenced his life and inspired his music, the concert will be presented by TV and radio presenter Lauren Laverne (Desert Island Discs, The One Show) and directed by Annilese Miskimmon, ENO’s Artistic Director.
The performance is conducted by Clelia Cafiero, who currently serves as Principal Guest Conductor at the Opéra de Tours. She makes a welcome return to ENO having previously conducted La bohème in September 2024, where she made her company and UK debut.
South African soprano Golda Schultz makes her highly anticipated ENO debut alongside American soprano Rainelle Krause, Irish soprano Ailish Tynan, British soprano and former Harewood Artist Nardus Williams, British mezzo-soprano Bethany Horak-Hallett and New Zealand-Tongan tenor Filipe Manu completes the cast of performers.
Mozart’s Women: A Musical Journey will showcase the stories of the women who inspired Mozart’s famous arias and enduring characters, from the sisters in Così fan tutte (‘Ah guarda sorella’), the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (‘Der Hölle Rache’) and Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni (‘Mi tradi’).
The concert forms part of Sky Arts’ upcoming Mozart season, presented alongside the previously announced Sky Original limited series Amadeus, starring BAFTA-winning actor Will Sharpe (A Real Pain, The White Lotus season 2), Paul Bettany (A Very British Scandal, WandaVision) and Gabrielle Creevy (In My Skin) in a critically acclaimed cast.
