Season features 11 new productions and four revivals, eight of which are 20th or 21st century works. They include the return of the hit production of Philip Glass' "Satyagraha" by the theater company Improbable, a staging that opened at ENO before going on to further success at the Metropolitan Opera.
Warner will helm Handel's choral work "The Messiah," Mitchell will stage ENO's first production of Mozart's "Idomeno" since 1962 and Goold, director of the Patrick Stewart "Macbeth," will make his London opera debut with a new production of Puccini's "Turandot."
Miller will helm a production of Donzetti's "The Elixir of Love," while thesp Fiona Shaw returns to the director's chair for a new production of Hans Werner Henze's "Elegy For Young Lovers" in a co-production at the Young Vic theater.
Documentary filmmaker Penny Woolcock, whose production of John Adams' "Dr. Atomic" was a co-production between ENO and the Met, returns with a new production of Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers" and site-specific company Punchdrunk will close the season with a commission, details of which are still under wraps.
