Jasdeep Singh Degun’s thrilling reimagining of Monteverdi’s beautiful baroque masterpiece won huge acclaim when it was first performed by Opera North in 2022, winning multiple awards, including Outstanding Achievement in Opera at the UK Theatre Awards and Best Stage Production in the Asian Media Awards. This new production of the work focuses on the musical spectacle of a union of uniquely talented singers and musicians from both the South Asian and western classical traditions.
