Welsh National Opera - The Sacrifice

Welsh National Opera The Sacrifice

WNO’s brand new commission The Sacrifice is composed and conducted by one of the world’s greatest living composers, James MacMillan, with a libretto by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts. The acclaimed director Katie Mitchell - known most recently for her work at the National Theatre - directs this world premiere tour.

The Sacrifice is a compelling and timeless story of a ruler’s ultimate sacrifice to safeguard the future of his war-torn, faction-ridden country; a story of love, revenge and reconciliation, inspired by the heightened mythical world of The Mabinogion, a collection of ancient Welsh folktales.

The powerful cast for The Sacrifice reunites a number of artists who have received great acclaim for their recent roles with WNO – and internationally: Sarah Tynan (who created the role of Iphis in Jephtha); Christopher Purves, Peter Hoare, Leigh Melrose and Lisa Milne.
