Solomon’s Knot baroque collective presents the modern staged premiere of a ‘lost’ Italian opera, l’Ospedale, based on a libretto by Antonio Abati. Set to music by an unknown seventeenth-century composer, this opera is a biting satire on patients, doctors, and medical practice, providing a unique and radical platform – or “voice” – to four characters, who exhibit various psychological and social disorders. A contemporary, immersive production sewn into the heart of Wilton’s Music Hall brings this provocative work to life amidst the purgatorial wasteland of a dilapidated modern hospital, where vulnerable patients await the arrival of an enigmatic doctor who they hope will restore their sanity – but at what cost?

The opera is performed in the original Italian, with English captions.
