Hailed by critics as 'one of the most exciting works ever to have been seen in the Bolshoi’, internationally acclaimed director Francesca Zambello’s remarkable interpretation of Prokofiev’s operatic masterpiece, The Fiery Angel, is an overwhelming musical experience.

A riveting drama of obsession and passion, the tale of the tormented Renata’s doomed search for her mystical ‘Fiery Angel’ unfolds in scenes of terrifying visions and compelling drama, in a powerful production in which magnificent singing and acting and stunning sets make it one of the jewels in the crown of the Bolshoi Opera.

‘Stupendous singing…realistic acting, gripping ensemble action, eye-popping sets,
dazzling lighting – and, above all, committed performances from
the Bolshoi Orchestra and Chorus…this is world-calibre work…
This cast is uniformly spot-on…A vibrant, living ensemble…’
