Background
As Richard Jones’ new production of I puritani prepares for the Main Stage, cast and creatives explore the themes, characters and story of Bellini’s bel canto masterpiece. Conducted by Riccardo Frizza in his Royal Opera debut, the opera stars Lisette Oropesa as the devoted and deeply vulnerable heroine Elvira, and Francesco Demuro as her courageous lover. With virtuosic coloratura passages and ethereal, otherworldly arias, Bellini’s score imbues I puritani with profound emotional depth.
