To Die for [A Comedy] – English National

To Die for, a unique comic opera by British-Russian composer Elena Langer, will be performed at the London Coliseum, London, for one night only on 29th November 2026. This thought-provoking black farce delves into society’s obsession with celebrity while capturing the essence of life’s tumultuous journey. Originally commissioned by the Stanislavski-Nemirovich-Danchenko Theatre in Moscow, the production faced cancellation due to political circumstances, making its UK premiere at the London Coliseum particularly significant. With a running time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one interval, audiences can expect a compelling narrative woven with humour and existential themes, driven by the character of Semyón Podsekayev. This guest production, featuring the Nederlandse Reisopera and Phion Symphony Orchestra, promises to be a memorable evening. For those interested in exploring this captivating work, booking for To Die for at the London Coliseum is highly recommended.
