a scalpel-sharp satire THE SPECTATOR

A dingy waiting-room full of patients waiting for a doctor who never comes. A pain in the heart. A pain in the chest. A pain in the head. A pain in the wallet. When the medic finally arrives, he's a genius. Or so it seems...


L'ospedale was Solomon's Knot's first opera production, at Wilton's Music Hall in 2015. Taking re-discovered material by an anonymous 17th-century composer which sets the biting and zany satire of Antonio Abati's poetry, L'ospedale resonates across the centuries as we continue to struggle to keep ourselves healthy at a reasonable cost.
