About the event
We celebrate Romanian Royalty Day with a theatre performance based on the vast correspondence of two giants of Romanian history, the first Royal Couple of Romania: King Carol I and Queen Elisabeth. This tour de force by and with Liana Ceterchi brings to the forefront the immense personality of Queen Elisabeth of Romania, known under the pen-name Carmen Sylva, a prolific author, skilled musician, patron of the arts and “mother to the Nation” during the trying times of the War of Independence (1877-1878).
The event is part of RCI London's Theatre Season.
