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.

Cycle »Da Ponte«

Ticket information

The joint operas by the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte are among the rare exceptions of a congenial artistic collaboration. Words and music - ideally related to each other, one experiences linguistic and musical masterpieces. In this cycle - Barrie Kosky has staged all three evenings - these three strokes of genius are now united.
