"He crossed the Alps not because it was possible — but because they said it was not."
Synopsis
In 218 BC, a general from Carthage led his army across the impossible — through the frozen peaks of the Alps, into the heart of Rome's empire. His name was Hannibal Barca. His campaign would last fifteen years and shake the foundations of the ancient world.
Hannibal The Great is a sweeping new opera that brings this legendary figure to life — his genius, his ambition, his triumphs, and the tragedy of a man who conquered everything except his ultimate goal.
With a score of breathtaking power and a libretto drawn from ancient sources, this production marks a defining moment in contemporary opera. Based on the play - Hannibal the Great, by Ken Sibanda.
