In Neil Armfield’s bold staging of Brett Dean’s modern opera, Shakespeare’s tragedy is reimagined through a contemporary lens. Allan Clayton takes on the tormented prince, while Sarah Connolly’s rich mezzo-soprano brings depth to Gertrude and Rod Gilfry’s commanding baritone embodies Claudius. Together, they weave a haunting, visceral retelling of betrayal, madness, and revenge.
