Jakob Lenz, An ENO/Hampstead Theatre co-production
Hampstead Theatre Hampstead Theatre Eton Avenue Swiss Cottage NW3 3EU United Kingdom 020 7722 9301 http://www.hampsteadtheatre.com/ENO Where does genius end and madness begin? How does it feel to cross the borderline between
imagination and insanity?
To celebrate the 60th birthday of leading German composer Wolfgang Rihm, ENO presents the first
ever English-language production of his most widely performed opera, a starkly Expressionist sonic
‘psychogram’ charting the mental disintegration of the real-life Sturm und Drang poet Jakob Lenz.
Staged by the dynamic young British director Sam Brown (winner of the 2011 European Opera-
Directing Prize) and starring the extraordinary ‘chameleon’ actor/singer Andrew Shore – whose tour
de force performance as Birtwistle’s Mr Punch launched ENO’s award-winning collaboration with the
Young Vic – this pioneering co-production with the Hampstead Theatre inaugurates a brand-new
relationship between ENO and North London’s long-established home of new writing.
