Wagners Der fliegende Holländer
With a romantic spirit, the young Richard Wagner moulded the old saga of the Flying Dutchman into an opera with bold sounds and an almost irrepressible force. Philipp Stölzl's production presents Wagner's work as a colourful pirate story and a fantastically adventurous journey of the soul, with a number of surprising twists and turns.

Il trovatore - a lyrical drama
With this opera, Giuseppe Verdi created a work full of ravishing bel canto numbers and elaborate, dramatic orchestral parts that caused a veritable storm of enthusiasm. The scenes, which are characterised by atrocities, desire for revenge, madness, jealousy, love, despair and hatred, gave Verdi the opportunity to compose extremely expressive melodies, emotionally charged arias and effective choruses.

Sasha Waltz's production of Sacre
An evening in three parts with music by three composers who were among the avant-garde artists of their time: Hector Berlioz, Claude Debussy and Igor Stravinsky. Performed for the first time exactly a century after its premiere, Sasha Waltz's choreography of Stravinsky's exceptional work is convincing with its elemental effect and elemental dance expressivity.
