Details

A rousing tale of plunder, passion and patriotism. Attila races through a plot that cheerfully rewrites history to terrific musical effect. The action is tied together by thundering orchestral writing, massive patriotic crowd scenes and a gutsy sense of good versus evil. The last of these is personified by Attila himself, the rampaging barbarian who nevertheless achieves a surprising nobility. Sung in Italian with English surtitles. Running time 2 hours 15 minutes. Sponsored (1990) by The Friends of Covent Garden. There will be a Schools Matinee performance of Attila on Tuesday 12 February.
