New for 2025/26 and premiering at ENO in its 25th anniversary year. Witness ENO’s unmissable new production of Jake Heggie and Terrence McNally’s powerful operatic drama, which follows a death row inmate in his final days and the pursuit of truth that puts a nun’s faith to the test.
Joseph De Rocher faces death by lethal injection for the brutal and senseless murder of two teenagers. While Joseph refuses to accept his guilt, we follow the religious and personal struggles of Sister Helen Prejean. She offers him spiritual guidance and witnesses the unbearable pain felt by the victim’s families, who’ve been left devastated by Joseph’s horrific and unforgivable crimes.
Will Sister Helen succeed in getting the confession the families deserve? Or will Joseph maintain his innocence to the very end?
English National Opera
Originally the Sadler's Wells Opera, formed at the turn of the century by Lilian Baylis, the company was renamed the English National Opera in 1974. The ENO was the first British opera company to tour the United States (1984) and the first major foreign opera company to tour the former Soviet Union (1990). In 1992, the company acquired the freehold to the London Coliseum, and after a four-year restoration programme moved into its new home in 2004.
