Rent La Juive: Oper Frankfurt (Henrik Nánási) (2026)

Fromental Halevy's five-act grand opera 'La Juive' ('The Jewess') is one of the most popular operas of the 19th century, captivating audiences ever since it's debut at the Opera de Paris in 1835. Set in the 15th century and full of pageantry, the subject is the forbidden love between a Christian man and a Jewish woman, and the tragedy that ensues. Oper Frankfurt's contemporary staging won great acclaim, with Ambur Braid being lauded for her 'luminous soprano' as the heroine Rachel, and 'vocal phenomenon' John Osborn heralded in the role of her father eleazar as 'immensely moving'.
