Verdis La Traviata
The last work in the so-called ‘Trilogia populare’, La Traviata premiered in 1853 and was first performed at the Haus Unter den Linden in 1860. After initial scepticism, it quickly became an internationally successful opera. Dieter Dorn's production presents Violetta as a woman who is doomed from the outset but rebels against her fate. In the end, she simply disappears, as if she had vanished into thin air.

Così fan tutte
After Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni, Mozart and Da Ponte collaborated for the third time in 1789/90 on Così fan tutte. For the first time, the Viennese court poet created a subject entirely from his own imagination. Mozart found numerous points of reference for the original composition of arias, duets, trios and other ensemble pieces, right up to the two grand finales.

Dido & Aeneas
Henry Purcell composed only one ‘real’ opera in 1689, a work of exceptional melodic inventiveness. The story of the hero and the Carthaginian queen, so impressively told in Virgil's epic Aeneid, found its echo in music that was no less powerful. Singing, acting and dancing combine to create a special form of theatre.

Chowanschtschina
In Chowanschtschina (“The Khovansky Affair”), Modest Mussorgsky was not concerned with recreating political events and brutal power games in detail, but rather with depicting “the past in the present” in a vast collage of historical documents – a kind of meditation on history using the medium of opera. Claus Guth stages Mussorgsky's stage work, which remained unfinished but was completed with the help of Stravinsky and Shostakovich.
