Katya Kabanova at the London Coliseum

Event: Katya Kabanova
Date: March 15th until the 27th

Leoš Janacek was one of the most famous composers of his generation, but behind all the glamour and praise, he was a tormented man.

Tormented because his heart longed for a woman he could not have.

This pain and suffering provided the inspiration for one of his most famous works, which will be played out at the London Coliseum very soon.

Katya Kabanova is an intense and heart-rending exploration of sexual morality within a tight-knit community, following the story of a woman trapped in a loveless marriage and a man who offers her brief respite from the toil and unhappiness.

Widely considered a masterpiece, Katya Kabanova is a wonderful introduction to Janacek's work for those who are unfamiliar with it.

Located just a stone's throw away from the London Coliseum is the luxury London hotel the Montague on the Gardens, which offers a hotel experience like no other anywhere in the capital.

Couples enjoying a romantic break will love the Get More From Your Stay package, which offers guests a choice from a late checkout, a bottle of chilled Champagne, traditional afternoon tea, a two-course table d'hote dinner for two and a pair of tickets to a British Museum exhibition.
