David and Jonathan
Holy Trinity Cuckfield, West Sussex, RH17 5JZ
Saturday 17th October 2026 7:00PM
An opera by Marc-Antoine Charpentier
NSO continues its tradition of staging the rarer operatic masterpieces with David and Jonathan, bringing this dark jewel of the Baroque repertoire with its achingly beautiful score - sensuous and dancelike by turns - to audiences in London and the South East for the first time.
A biblical tragedy with a war-torn setting, the opera sees love and duty collide, with David, Jonathan, and Saul caught in a destructive web of desire, politics, and paranoia. With a new English translation by Christopher Cowell, David and Jonathan is staged by the creative team behind NSO's The Silver Bell (“rather sensational” – Opera Now) and The Dragon of Wantley (“jaw-droppingly stupendous” – Christopher Morley).
