ENO Partenope 2025: Production Images

View images from ENO’s 2025 production of Handel‘s Partenope, directed by Christopher Alden.

Five people in colourful, vintage-style outfits pose on a white, modern spiral staircase; one person stands dramatically at the base, while the others are positioned on different steps under dramatic lighting.

A person in a long brown coat holds a hat and a vintage suitcase while standing on a white, curved staircase in a brightly lit, minimalist setting.

A person with a large reddish-brown beard, wearing a burgundy suit, stands in front of a white staircase holding a silver object with both hands, looking forward with a serious expression.

Two people in vintage suits sit on white stairs, each holding a pipe. The lighting creates distinct shadows of them on the wall behind, and the scene has a theatrical, dramatic atmosphere.

A man in a brown suit sits sideways on white stairs, gripping the bannister, with dramatic shadows and light creating a striking, minimalist background.

Two people in formal attire dance dramatically in a dimly lit room. The person on the left, wearing a black suit and top hat, leans low while holding the hand of the standing person in a grey suit and glasses.

A performer dressed in light blue clothes, a bowler hat, and holding a cane walks across a stage, smiling and waving, illuminated by a spotlight. Dark geometric shapes and shadows are visible on the background wall.

A performer in a bright pink floral dress, red tights, and black shoes stands on stage, wearing a helmet with a yellow plume and holding two crossed batons. The background is dark and textured.

A person with short, messy hair and glasses stands on stage, wearing a grey blazer, checked skirt, tie, and shirt, with arms outstretched and mouth open as if singing or performing.

A woman in a sparkling white dress poses gracefully on stage in front of a purple curtain, with a wooden chair behind her. The dress fans out elegantly as she lifts her arms and smiles.

Two people pose playfully against a white background. One person in a grey suit leans in as if whispering, holding a mask and papers. The other, in a sparkly silver gown, smiles whilst looking at the camera.

A woman in a floral dress stands on a dining table reaching towards a lit chandelier, while four people sit around the table watching her in a brightly lit, modern room with minimalist decor.

A person with short, styled hair and a brown outfit gestures expressively whilst holding several tan and black gas masks, one in each hand, against a plain background.

A person in a green suit kneels with one arm crossed over their chest, holding a fake moustache to their face. A clear glass bottle sits on the floor beside them. The background is softly lit and plain.

A man in a blue dinner jacket stands on one side of a doorway, looking and smiling towards a woman on the other side. The woman, wearing a white satin dressing gown, holds a lit candle and gazes ahead with a serious expression.

A woman in an elegant, glittering dress stands partly in shadow, looking to the side with a serious expression, one hand resting on a large white panel.

Five people sit around a table under a chandelier in a modern, minimalist room. One person stands at the foot of a curved staircase, whilst another stands on the stairs above, partially in shadow.

A man in a blue suit kneels on a wooden floor, holding a playing card in one hand and gesturing with the other, whilst another card falls through the air nearby against a plain white background.

A person in a tuxedo and sheer white shirt stands on a stage with one hand raised, casting a shadow on the wall behind them. The background includes empty picture frames and an upturned chair.

A person in a blue suit sits in a small room filled with white streamers, whilst another person in a white dressing gown stands outside the doorway holding a glass. The scene is set in a sparsely furnished, modern interior.

Three actors on a stage perform dramatically; one in a dinner jacket points left, another in a blue suit holds a camera, and a third in glasses gestures beside an old film projector and ornate column.

Four people in formal attire stand and sit on a white, curved staircase and stage set with minimalist white walls, modern art, and sparse furniture, creating a dramatic theatrical scene.

Partenope

First performed in 1730, Partenope marks George Frideric Handel‘s first venture into comic opera.

An Introduction to Partenope

Handel’s opera treats finding love as a battle both literally and figuratively. This comic opera is full of romantic entanglements and mistaken identities.
