Don Giovanni
With their dramma giocoso, Mozart and his congenial librettist Da Ponte created a perfect blend of serious and comic opera. They ennobled the essentially buffonesque material with psychological sensitivity and musical finesse.

Il barbiere di Siviglia from Rossini
With Il barbiere di Siviglia, Rossini, aged just 23, created a witty, sparkling, fiery and pulsating masterpiece in the spirit of Italian opera buffa in just three weeks. The humorously drawn characters, brilliant solo parts, rousing melodies and fast-paced ensembles are shown to their best advantage in Ruth Berghaus' timeless production from 1968.

Premiere of Das schlaue Füchslein
