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events and brutal power games in detail, but rather with depicting “the past in the present” in a vast collage of historical documents – a kind of meditation on history using the medium of opera.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.

Giuseppe Verdis Falstaff

At the age of almost 80, Giuseppe Verdi, who had long since become a legend, achieved another sensational success. With his Falstaff, he found a very natural and vivid musical language full of wordplay, rhythmic finesse and tonal associations. Mario Martone's production features Michael Volle and Gabriela Scherer in the title roles, among others.

Puccinis Madama Butterfly

The opera is based on a novella that supposedly depicts a true story. Giacomo Puccini studied sources on Japanese music, incorporated original melodies and drew inspiration for his sophisticated instrumentation and distinctive timbres. Eike Gramss's production delicately depicts the clash of two cultures in a dazzling Japanese world.
