Eleanor is Assistant Director for Damiano Michieletto’s Olivier Award-winning double production.

In a remote Italian village, two passionate affairs unfold over a single day. In Cavalleria rusticana, the heartbroken Santuzza wrestles with her conscience as her lover Turiddu lusts after another woman. Meanwhile, in Pagliacci, the tormented clown Canio tries to mask his heartache as he prepares to perform – but before long, the on-stage drama descends into real-life tragedy.

Damiano Michieletto’s production offers a visceral account of two unforgettable operatic thrillers. Daniel Oren conducts a dazzling cast featuring Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna, Dimitri Platanias, Fabio Sartori and Anna Princeva.
