The Makropulos Case - Royal Ballet and Opera description
What if you could live forever?
The famous and mysterious singer Emilia Marty has lived for over 300 years thanks to an elixir of immortality. But when she becomes entangled in a legal battle to renew the live- extending formula, she is forced to face the emptiness and isolation her centuries-long life has brought her.
In this new production, acclaimed director Katie Mitchell reimagines this haunting masterpiece through a contemporary lens, exploring what it means to love and at what cost.
