They set out to nurse them back to health, but what begins as an act of apparent compassion quickly spirals into a disturbing portrait of greed and exploitation, and an unflinching take on human trafficking and modern-day slavery. Directed by the visionary theatre maker Kip Williams, who also recently directed Dracula starring Cynthia Erivo at the Noel Coward Theatre. Tosca: English National Opera 30 October – 11 December 2026 English National Opera presents a new, reimagined staging of Puccini’s Tosca – a timeless story of love, power and sacrifice.

When the corrupt police chief Scarpia intervenes, a place of music is transformed into a site of fear and violence. Tosca is forced to fight for her love, her honour and her life. Directed by Annilese Miskimmon, ENO’s Artistic Director, and conducted by Ben Glassberg, the production stars Grammy Award-winning Axelle Fanyo in the title role.
