An enemy of the People

Composer Francisco Coll’s fascinating new opera adaptation transforms Henrik Ibsen’s immortal play of the same name into a true cultural event, with Àlex Rigola’s bold stage direction and libretto. Its exceptional cast brings together outstanding singers to bring the complex characters of this story to life, notably baritone José Antonio López as Dr Stockmann, tenor Moisés Marín as the manipulative Mayor, and soprano Brenda Rae as Petra.

This tense socio-political drama is drawn directly from the famous Scandinavian play about corruption and the fragility of the democratic system, in which an honourable doctor discovers a deadly bacterium in the local water supply and faces fierce opposition from the civil authorities and economic powers. A gripping story that brutally confronts the question of whether morality prevails over money.
