Jealousy, revenge, hopeless romance and a breath-taking wall of fire bring epic Verdi operas Aida and Nabucco to life in award-winning opera producer Ellen Kent’s new tour, which calls in at Liverpool Empire next February.

Pyrotechnic displays and lighting effects help bring Ellen’s love of large scale productions to the local stage, complete with stunning scenery depicting the splendour and mystery of ancient Egypt and the beautiful hanging gardens of Babylon.

Ellen Kent said, “I feel I can indulge myself in these operas. I try my best to give the audience the feeling of something epic.”
