Wolfgang Rihm’s starkly Expressionistic sonic ‘psychogram’ charts the mental disintegration of real-life Sturm Und Drang poet, Jakob Lenz.

Staged by English National Opera and Hampstead Theatre to celebrate Rihm’s 60th birthday, this is the first ever English translation of Jakob Lenz, which is Rihm’s most widely performed opera.

Jakob Lenz is directed by the winner of the European Opera-Directing Prize, Sam Brown, and stars Andrew Shore.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
