Anna Bolena - Hackney Empire, English Touring Opera

Anna was played by Julie Unwin and is the ETO’s main star and in this performance, she sings magnificently as I remembered her in Tosca. Her Anna is hopeful and defiant, and her moment of brief madness was heartrending

Julie Unwin’s feisty Anna sailed through the difficulties of the role. Unwin is affecting in the reflective section of her final mad scene.
