Guildhall School presents Menotti's tragic opera

Guildhall School presents Menotti's tragic opera The Consul

Menotti’s tragic – and extraordinarily topical – opera follows a political dissident on the run from the secret police.

The Consul is the piece that launched Menotti's distinguished career and won him the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1950.

Music and libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti

Promoted by the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
