Tickets for our performance with Sir Simon Rattle: lso.co.uk/whats-on/?search=makropulos

The Makropulos Affair contains some of Janáček’s most compelling music, starting with its Prelude that hints at the 16th-century birth year of Emilia Marty, complete with pounding timpani and fanfares. Learn the story about how a 300-year-old woman confronts mortality, identity and lost love in Janáček’s intense operatic drama.
