Michael Ball takes the lead role of Hajj in this award-winning fantasy based on the music of Russian composer Alexander Borodin.
An experienced West End performer, Ball has held popularity in many a household. However, despite delighting Broadway audiences in Les Miserables and the Phantom of the Opera, the opening performance will surprisingly mark his English National Opera debut.
