This November, Julia makes a long-awaited return engagement at Madrid’s Teatro Real, where she was last seen during her 2013 debut in the title role of Purcell’s The Indian Queen, directed by Peter Sellars. This time, she performs a staged rendition of Handel’s oratorio Theodora, joined by Joyce DiDonato – with whom she performed the work at London’s Royal Opera House in 2022 – and British countertenor Iestyn Davies (Nov 11–23). Director Katie Mitchell makes her Teatro Real debut with the production, which is a provocative, contemporary take on the story that highlights themes of religious fanaticism and violence.
