Russian Princess Fedora Romazov falls in love with her fiancé’s murderer. In a psychological crime drama where every action has catastrophic consequences, we are treated to acclaimed Swedish soprano Malin Byström as Fedora. Passion, lies and guilt thrust Fedora into a despair that ultimately prompts her to take her own life.
Fedora is based on Victorien Sardou’s play of the same name, written for actress Sarah Bernhardt in the late nineteenth century. Christof Loy’s earlier productions at the Royal Swedish Opera include the critically-acclaimed Der Rosenkavalier, Parsifal and La fanciulla del West. With Fedora he has returned with another hit – a stylistically pure but hair-raising interpretation of this powerful crime drama. A unique opportunity to experience Umberto Giordano’s dramatic music!
