Gorecki's haunting symphony comes to London for a limited run.
Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, or Symphony No. 3, is a symphony in three parts that meditates on motherhood and loss. The first movement is the Virgin Mary’s lament. The second is a message on the wall of a concentration camp. The third movement is a mother searching for her lost son.
As with other works such as Satyagraha and Akhnaten, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs is performed in its original Polish with English subtitles, as it is poetically rather than narratively driven.
Isabella Bywater, the award-winning director and designer known for her work on La bohème for ENO and Lucia di Lammermoor at the Danish National Opera, directs and designs this London production of Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Meanwhile, Lidiya Yankovskaya, Music Director at Chicago Opera Theater, conducts - her ENO debut. Nicole Chevalier also makes her ENO debut as the soprano of the piece.
