Cycle »Slavic Operas«

Ticket information

A cross-section of the Slavic repertoire - and a wide range of different narrative forms and styles: the tragic fate of a mermaid, the refreshingly captivating love story in a Bohemian village, the great relationship drama of love at the wrong time, a multi-layered late work about a blind princess and the almost science-fiction-like story of a mysterious recipe that promises eternal life.
