Animal Farm[1] is an English-language opera by Russian composer Alexander Raskatov based on George Orwell's 1944 novella of the same name. The opera contains two acts, nine scenes, and an epilogue, with a libretto written by Ian Burton and musical direction by Bassem Akiki. The project was conceived by Italian director Damiano Michieletto who collaborated with Raskatov on the project which was a co-commission by the Vienna State Opera, Teatro Massimo, and the Dutch National Opera.[2][3]
The opera's premiere took place on 3 March 2023 as part of Dutch National Opera's 2022/2023 season and has been welcomed with great success by the audience.[4]
