| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Monday 8-Jul-13 07:00pm "If you travel to India and to Central Africa, you'll hear Trovatore.“ Nine years after the triumphant first performance, Verdi's opera had achieved the worldwide popularity that moved the composer to make this comment. The fabric of the opera could hardly be more gloomy: a gypsy who wishes to avenge the death of her mother at the stake, a count who wishes to use the execution of this gypsy to strike at his rival; a horrifying truth that is revealed at the moment of death. All the ingredients of Verdi's dramatic abundance appear here: mysterious sound worlds, harsh contrasts, vocal brilliance, opulent tableaux. The cohesive narrative style gives way to the variation of suggestive musical images with which Verdi served "the most important part of the drama“: revenge.In Italian with German surtitles.Paolo Carignani, Conductor Olivier Py, Director Alexei Markov, Baritone: The Count Di Luna Anja Harteros, Soprano: Leonora Elena Manistina, Mezzo-soprano: Azucena Jonas Kaufmann, Tenor: Manrico Kwangchul Youn, Bass: Ferrando Golda Schultz, Soprano: Ines | ||

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Wednesday 31-Jul-13 05:00pm SWho's afraid of the Bühnenweihfestspiel? Will Parsifal manage to bring the sacred spear back to the Knights of the Grail? Will he resist the blandishments of the primal sorceress "Kundry". Does salvation exist? Does compassion bring knowledge? Wagner's late work not as artificial religion – but rather as critical music theatre. Peter Konwitschny's production: admired, cheered and hotly controversial. A scandal? Well, judge for yourself.

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Friday 17-Jan-14 07:30pm Every seven years the Dutchman is allowed back on land. There this tepest-tossed creature can only be redeemed by a woman, Otherwise his endless odyssey continues. Will Senta be that woman? After all, she longs to break free from the confining world of her father. All he ever thinks about is money. Isn't the wealthy Dutchman just what the doctor ordered? Wagner's gripping early work: a psycho-thriller of operatic literature. Peter Konwitschny has already provoked audiences to delight and disgust with his spectacular Parsifal and Tristan und Isolde productions. This Munich Holländer is something you just "have" to see. A sea and see journey on the waves of the orchestra.
